आलोचक समीक्षाएं

Beautifully observed, miraculously unsentimental comedy-drama.

A sweet but unsticky comedy from Norway that was one of the five foreign- language nominees at this year's Academy Awards.

Charms because of its natural, non-magical attitude toward humanity.

A darkly funny, very human comedy.

Bighearted audience pleaser.

Elling believes so fervently in humanity that it feels almost anachronistic, and it is too cute by half. But arriving at a particularly dark moment in history, it offers flickering reminders of the ties that bind us.

A gentle comedy, brimming with hope and faith in human resilience.

Deftly manages to avoid many of the condescending stereotypes that so often plague films dealing with the mentally ill.

Charming but slight comedy.

The natural chemistry between Ellefsen and Nordin keeps the film pleasant and inoffensive, but is there any question about where or when or how it will go?
