Rezension von micke-bystrom

Apparently Josefine Kirkeskov believes the screen is like an aspect of a theatre stage, so she attempts to tell the story as if that was true. But it isn't. What's on screen needs to be fully believable, maybe larger than life to work and actors need to express their roles differently. This looks like something from the eighties. Amateur hour.

The sloppy pre-story tries to mimic initimacy with closeup photo and some slightly dirty language. It just looks silly, unnatural and thin.

It's as if Josefine hopes emotions will appear on screen if the actors just pretend they feel something internally while she's filming. What we see is downright cold and it's clear we're not supposed to like this couple. Or maybe this is Josefine's version of love?

The litte pre-story there is doesn't show us a happy couple about to have their relationship tested. What we see is the theory of that as Josefine Kirkeskov fantasizes it. It's very boring.

Sofia Helin, in her lead is terrible. I don't know what Josefine Kirkeskov meant her to portray. If it's someone with emotional problems, well that's a strong part of it. Sofia looks as if she has lost it well ahead of the story developing. I think rather she has lost her talent, if she had one. Or maybe Josefine Kirkeskov lead her astray. I don't know.

I suppose there are great questions and an important story in there, but I'm not going humour Josefine Kirkeskov anymore.
