I've never seen anything like this in Nordic film. It's an erotic, psychological thriller, horror-esque in tone, AND it's executed well. Actually, at some parts, this movie is great! It really nailed the tension-building, and I have to commend the acting of everyone involved. It's a small cast, but they all felt very believable. The part where this movie falls a bit short is in the ambiguous plot. The movie does well with keeping you on edge, but once the credits roll, you are not completely satisfied with what you've been given. I'm sure there are lots of questionable things in the plot itself, but the thing I object to the most are the motives of the main character. It didn't really come together the way the filmmakers intended. The plot could have been great, but this sort of storytelling was maybe just too hard to pull off. Anyway, don't let that ruin a great experience! This is a gem in Nordic film, so watch it!
