Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

zzzorf I would have to recommend this movie for at least a watch once if you are able, I did and in a way I enjoyed it, however I don't think I will ever get around to watching it again.The story is interesting and something I would like to revisit again and the actresses playing the main roles did a great job whoever I feel the movie held a slow pace seeming to move along at little more than a crawl. I feel a lot of this had to deal with the fact that there was very little dialogue, kept mostly only for a few select scenes. The actresses however did a fine job, able to make up for the slow feeling of the movie, you could feel their confusion at what was transpiring.I do feel though that the emotions of the girls where not fully explained though leaving a lot of room where the movie could have explored exactly what the girls were going through.

taverymuch01 This film might not be to everyone's taste, it is slow moving but like all good things it is worth seeing for the visual impact of the scenery alone. The film revolves primarily around two girls and their interaction between each other and their community. One girl(Unn) is set apart from the rest of her peer group, a loner who is befriended by Siss. As the story unfolds you gain an insight into Unn's character, after sharing a secret with Siss, instead of going to school the next morning Unn wanders off into the snow and disappears. I won't give away the ending of the film, but it is beautifully shot, there are a lot of allegorical references, and the continuity is superb. definitely one for your collection

jlad absolutely brilliant film, slow but well worth it. Well acted by all, the mood of the film was perfect. The director did a remarkable and brave job with this movie, it could never have been made in a place such as hollywood, it's about time the world started to take notice of low budget (good storyline movies), rather than big budget predictable hollywood ingredients.

jpjensen This film don't look like anything else. It is very slow moving, almost boring, and most of the pictures are close-ups of not very expressive faces. It's set in a very cold and very remote Norwegian mountain area in the thirties - not the most amusing place in the world. But very decent indeed. And then something starts sparkling. The two 12 year old girls meets a frosty evening, it is the first time that the kind and completely ordinary Siss visits the outsider Unn, who lives alone with her aunt. Unn shows to be an outsider indeed, having her room decorated by posters of pin-up girls , and soon suggest, that they take off their clothes. After doing that, Unn cries and admits, that she will not be let into Heaven, when she dies.Siss promise to keep Unns special feelings a secret. The very next day Unn dies in the big ice palace (a frozen waterfall in the nearby river)- nobody knows, if it was an accident or suicide, but Siss is left with feelings of guilt. What she really thinks, and what other people think, is not quite obvious. But this strange film is fascinating in its own odd way. There is some nudity and scary scenes, but that won't offend any minors, because they would be bored away long before it starts.
