In Norwegian. 128 minute running time so probably 30 minutes too long, but this was a talk, talk, talk movie … the life of a Millennial Norwegian girl and her relationships … this was made by Joachim Trier, a handsome bastard who also made Thelma (which I liked) and Reprise (which I wasn’t thrilled about). This movie is pretty intense at times, it’s about as un-Hollywood a movie as you can imagine (you know, sensitive, intelligent, etc.)

The lead actress is beautiful and Norway is so rich that even if you are a clerk in a bookstore or a barista, you are able to live in a comfortable, light-filled apartment in central Oslo, it seems. I think Millennial women will really love this one, maybe women of all ages, and thoughtful gentlemen like me. I can’t give it a green-go because of the length. Would be a challenge to cut out a full 30 minutes to make it right, the filmmakers should have been less self-indulgent and tried to make it tighter.

John Farr liked it too: “Will Julie ever figure herself out?”
