8/10

Warning: Spoilers
I do not know language, and watch it w/o subtitle!!

That gave me a unique perspective, because I am not distracted with script.

First, I would like to congratulate the director. Very meticulous work with really nice pictures, angles and lights. (For example, husband pick his friend from dock to drop house. How many camera angles, side door, front of the car, static road camera, underneath window etc etc. I stop counting.) This movie could be watch just to see the director's work. Well done.

Second, artists. Without understanding dialogs, I could be able to read emotions, expressions. Not under or over performing. I gave them perfect, except friends visit house, some sort of party. Party scene was underperforming. Main characters was awesome.

Culture: I think Nordic culture has this fetish (I saw at Vikings series too) Some mysterious foreigner comes town, wifes/GF cheats, than that man is disappear and husbands come back. Maybe it is a cultural thing, I am not sure. Another thing nudist/naturalist line. I had enough with bare bum in this movie. Bum bum bum. Maybe climate has some effect on it. Maybe again Nordic needs to cover themselves most of the time due to weather, therefore they are more comfortable with nudity/ skinny dipping. I do not know.

I do not think cuckholding is empower woman. Cheating start with brain and finish there. I swap roles in my head and put myself woman's position. If I cheat my wife in that way; I will be disgust from myself. If I really desire another woman, I would share with my partner from day 1. Not secretly fling and than blast. The woman's behaviour is very teenager, rather than married person.

Overall, I would suggest this movie to viewers. The movie challenge people, provoke viewers. Worth to see.
