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.
