Movie Reviews
good family movie
Good old fashion movie making.
I started watching this movie, thinking that , ok, this is not a Hollywood production. It WAS however, a very good story. I like the way it is from, i think, Norway, so it is dubbed in English when i watched it. Still found it very well paced and interesting. Relaxing and peaceful. No gore or cursing as far as i can remember. Yes, it may not have all kinds of special effects and gore, but i find it a good movie to watch, whenever i catch it on my tv. Intersting story, beautiful scenery and for me, a look at a whole other country that i have never been to in my life. Well told and great story, at least from my point of view.
