I feel somewhat betrayed by the labelling of this film as a drama comedy and also by the ridiculously high rating.
Ordinary people's lives are rarely interesting enough to make a good film. That's why they are called ordinary. Nothing wrong with that. Most of us live ordinary and happy lives. But as I'm sure many of you have already noticed, the scriptwriters aren't queuing outside your doorstep, asking for your permission to write a screenplay about your life.
There's plenty of everyday drama in this film, but where's the comedy? There's plenty more scenes made for tears than for a smile.
Sorry, being a Scandinavian myself, I usually tend to like Scandinavian films. But not this one.
