Before-hand review
5 January 2019 | by Allfader_Oden – See all my reviews

I think you have to watch this in your local cinema, otherwise you are just doing yourself a disservice.

For this flick brings up a huge problematic area in our swedish community, for we are vikings but vikings have feelings too!

Cheers for the weekend!

ps: will do a review after i've watched it (will do later today)
