Review
This
Norwegian coming-off-age film has an original angle, a good heart
and a plot which only occasionally comes off as contrived. Director
Arild Frölich demonstrates some stylistic flair and commands the
narrative quite well, even if some of the interpersonal scenes seem
rushed and a little bumpy. Young lead actor Petrus A. Christiansen
as Jim does a very good job in carrying the film's drama, even in
segments where his young co-stars are floundering. Atle Antonsen, as
the father of the title character, is a fun comic relief as always.
