Nord

Not merely a simple tale of a guy moving north, it is almost certainly a journey of another kind, and if the conclusion leaves some unsatisfied, it leaves me feeling pretty good about our main character's prospects. It is a nice, funny, hopeful movie, and I enjoyed it rather a lot.

Melodramatic script that makes me want to slit my wrists in frustration. Not one single scene has any realistic feel to it. Baasmo Christiansen plays the unsecure fatty once again, it's getting tedious. I have no idea where they scooped up the rest of the "actors", from the street by the looks of it.

LØL! For some reason this movie can lift my mood efficiently with its fairly simple, linear script and exotic location. The goal is one: a father must find his son. No embellishments, idiotic twists or pretentious depth to it, it just is what it is and serves its purpose: genuine comedy. The ending was most fitting; no sentimental reunions, rather a simple scene in which the man eventually reaches his destination, and from then on all is left to our imagination. Yes, perfect!

Moody, low-key comedy from Norway - first half is quite good, while the second half seems to lose its focus somewhat. Non-Norwegians may enjoy it even more for its exoticism.

Anders Baasmo Christiansen takes the movie one step futher with great acting

The script lacks depth, but the comedy is pure gold and the milieu beautiful. Anders Baasmo Christiansen makes a tremendous performance, but unfortunately the story falls flat towards the end.

It can be slow at times, but then again what do you expect from a movie about a lone man moving slowly through the snow covered North of Norway. The subtle jokes work very well and balance the bleakness of the protagonist's mental state.

Finding a nice balance between the off-beat and the weird, this delightful comedy has performances that are very underplayed. To such an extreme extent, actually, that it in itself somehow becomes a source of humor.
