“I really like this film more each time I view it. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of the rare films I know which takes their time to tell the story … NO MTV-cut-style-frantic-cutting but lovingly dwelling on faces, persons, landscape etc. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes, maybe some of the costumes arenu0026#39;t 100% correct, maybe some parts of the soundtrack do irritate with their loudness, but that to me are minor flaws! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI really think they captured the u0026quot;big pictureu0026quot; of Kristinu0026#39;s early life and her getting to know Erlend Nikulausson perfectly – in tone at least, even if some smaller episodes of course are missing from the film. And even the odd additions here and there I think do make sense in the context of the film! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just hope there WILL someday be someone who with equal skill and pacing takes the other two novels to the silver screen too! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn short: one of my favorite films right now!”
