With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
- If you count yourself among people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Shelve it next to The French Lieutenant's Woman.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Just before the young Anna is getting married to the lighthouse keeper Holmstrand, she meets the Norwegian sailor John. He falls in love with her, but leaves her when he is told she is engaged.
