Review

Director Anne Sewitsky combines well-known biopic elements, at times a little too well-known, with slick use of modern music in this rendition of the life and times of Norwegian champion figure skater and classical era Hollywood star Sonja Henie. The film is carried by a spirited, strong performance by Ine Wilmann as Henie, and together with her co-stars Eldar Skar and especially Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen, she manages to transport us back to a long-gone zeitgeist and mindset – well helped by fine production values.
