With almost no lasting buzz and a box office loss, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for history buffs and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Same wavelength as Suffragette.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Religious and cultural reawakening inspires rebellion in a 19th century Norwegian village.
