"This year's winner of the Norwegian Film Critics Award in Haugesund is as wise as it is surprising and funny. It tells the story of a father and daughter, and the humour springs from the silent dialogue between them as they struggle to meet each other's gaze. The actress Sandra Hüller's suggestive body language is a study in comical low-key acting in relation to her opponent Peter Simonischek. The director is a sharp but at the same time patient observer, with a deep love for the protagonists, inviting the audience to participate in each and every scene. This winner is something as rare as a comedy with deep resonance and great re-watch value."
