User Reviews

The best Norwegian movie ever made.

I first saw the movie when I was nine, and loved it right away. But even though I was quite young the first time I saw it, even when I see it now, I think it's still great. (I'm 24) This year it will finally be released on DVD, a moment've been waiting for for a long time, since my VHS version is a bit tired.

The movie offers a good soundtrack, and a marvelous picture of Oslo, the Norwegian capital. It also shows the darker sides of being a kid in the city, with drugs and prostitution.

See this movie, and judge for yourselves, I give it a perfect ten! Andreas.
