And im really honoured and proud of how they show off our countrys beauty and comfort, even though its cold and full of bloodthirsty elfs and elks...
i think this is a really good x-mas parade of a feature movie, with hints of many many xmas movies made in the past...
Technically and visually its an ''analouge'' masterpiece that leads you into a dreamworld of fantasy,and love actually, not in the shape of kiss and hugs, but in a storyline that even an american barnelf wouldve appreciated and envied...
as a horrorpiece its very light on the gore, and as a dramathriller and comedy its unfortunately struck down by some very saggyslow acting moments during the most violent and dramatic moments. This is the parts that will turn off the most squemish of goregalore horrorholic, but overall assessed and assembled im amazed by all the ideas they put into the storyline...
its a pity that the rest of the world miss out on the norwegian language and the dialect pieces of it, and funniest of them all is eldar vågan of the ''vazelina bilopphøgers''(a norwegian pop group), a surprising and most heartfelt choice of an offspring from the norwegian valleys...otherwise the acts works, especially among the ''norrøn''-speaking elfs.
Its a film with few special effects, so what the technical crew, the camera, light , sound, location , set decoration, costume, make up design and musical score departments has brought forward to you is just glitteringly amazing.
Therefore the grumpy old man wholeheartedly recommends '' theres something in the barn'' for what it is, and this review may let the filmakers learn to arrange some better actionacting by the main cast in the most prudent moments in forthcoming sequels. Hitherto im impressed and so is my grumpy old spouce...its not for the minorest minors, but with adult supervision , a 7+ child could eat this one.
I hope for a follow up, this will be a classic for generations to come.
