This is a truly wonderful film, 99.9% true to life. - Hope review by DW
It's the enormously high level of realism that makes this such an enjoyable watch, what you see could happen to almost anyone. Not having seen too many Norwegian films, I don't know if any of the actors are of "celebrity" status but the adults gave outstanding performances which set a high bar for the younger performers who all gave great individual contributions to something very special.
(There's a short scene in a wedding dress shop that had me laughing out loud & I bet you will too).
