OK, this movie has received a lot of harsh comments, even though it is one of the best Norwegian films ever made.
Aksel Hennie has written the screenplay himself, he started several years before his dream of the film became realized. The movie is based on a good story, set in Downtown-Oslo. The characters are involved in the shady side of the society, and this gives the film a good plot.
As a first in Norwegian film history, a guy with Downs-syndrome plays Aksels brother, who has downs-syndrome. According to Aksel, this gave the character more credibility, and the guy does a really good job.
The screenplay, acting and music in this film is top notch, a film worth seeing!
