Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
Made for people who love a good growing-up story and people who'll be humming afterwards. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Fans of An Officer and a Gentleman should feel right at home. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Amalie is the girl who has everything, good looks, money, a boyfriend and a big talent of dancing. One day, her world falls apart and she moves from everything she knows. Then enter Mikael. He is dancing in the streets and Amalie joins him in dancing on the streets, dancing Battles.
