A fine movie. It's sad, it's funny, sometimes difficult to watch but always entertaining and at the end of it you can't stop thinking about the characters and their life. Go see it. Börn is one of those film that stays with you, makes you think, makes you wonder and makes you feel happy about your own life.
The acting is great, one of the best actor being the one playing Guðmundur the eleven year old son of Karitas, the main character.
Maybe one of the reasons the acting is so good, and why it fells so natural is that the film, its script and all is made by the actors themselves in a kind of workshop. It all feels so natural, the filming shot in black and white in one of Reykjavíks least appealing neighborhoods only adding to that feeling.
The music is also very good. All in all one of the best film I've seen recently.
