Dave C @RT09838700 Dec 27 Taut and suspenseful in places, without over-egging it and detracting from the story itself. Testament to resilience and enduring hope of the time, it is a solid tale of survival, and one that is directed and performed well See more ANTONIO D @RT52864809 Oct 25 I watched this film until the 45th minute. I couldn't go any further. It was 45 minutes in which absolutely nothing remotely relevant or enlightening about the film's nature was revealed. Given the ratings and relevance of the reviews here on this site, I must conclude that the final hour of this film must have been the most sensational final hour of a film ever written in the history of cinema. It's a shame I couldn't bear to continue. See more Denis A @RT24628670 12/08/2024 Truly gripping, the lead deserves an Oscar! A must see film.

Its undoubtedly a bleak watch - at times there's not much dialogue (which, for me, were subtitles given its partly in Norwegian, German and Saami, although there is some English, I wouldn't say its the main language spoken throughout, I consider this more of a world cinema title) and often we can hear the obvious extreme discomfort of the titular character, having to try to cope with their injuries while evading re-capture, by befriending locals. For a fair number of scenes, there is quite dark (if much at all) lighting, so we can't always make out everything going on (for example, in scenes set at night) but then for some that may be a bit of a blessing if you wouldn't like to be subject to every detail. I'd certainly say that this is an effectively atmospheric film regardless. However, lighting aside - it does feature some scenes depicting bloody injuries, although I wouldn't say its over the top in terms of extreme graphic detail but if your particularly squeamish about seeing or hearing people in distress with bloody injuries, then you may well prefer to not watch this, of course. I certainly thought it was an interesting story - I like seeing how people with very few options deal with being in the place, with the people, they find themself surrounded by and what happens to them. Of course the fact its based on a true story made it even more compelling for me and I also liked some of the landscape shots/cinematography. Overall, yes I would recommend this film.
