With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at people who love a good growing-up story and romantics. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Fans of An Education or Harold and Maude should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Young teenager Bo is too sensitive for the hothouse atmosphere of a boarding school run by a cold, unfeeling would-be man of the cloth. Lonely and scared, he finds a soulmate in the headmaster's son Kim with whom he forms a bond of friendship... that slowly grows into something more.
