This movie was almost unwatchable from the first scene. I could tell from the outset that creative liberties would be taken, and I was not wrong. It barely resembled the book, which is a shame since the characters in the book's narrative had much more dimension. This movie is a "what not to do when you are making a best seller into a motion picture!"
It never really comes together. I find it really unbelievable that anybody can give this movie a rating of 10 or anything like it. It cannot satisfy the 3 basic principles of drama .1 exposition ,2 development, 3. Recapitulation. My biggest problem is that as near as I can tell the whole sub-plot about the Olympics coming to Oslo has nothing to do with anything. So, what did we sit through that for? Also, I am not sure what the storyline about the doctor at the abortion clinic has to do with anything. I hate to see a movie and be confused and have a lot of questions. This movie did that to me big time. I could not recommend it to anyone for any reason. Maybe somebody who gave it a 10 could explain it to me. Yes the scenery is pretty but I didn't go to see your travel log. Without recapitulation, you haven't got a film.
Please, don't do it, do not waste your time!! When I came scrolled down to see the film reviews I saw that it had been nominated for an award. I said to myself, for worst movie ever. Guess what? Nominated for worst film of the year!
Lmao - this is complete garbage! There is horrible fake CGI snow? WTF -? The story makes no sense and the actors are terrible. An utter waste. Dreadful.
