i do not speak norwegian . not a single word . but i do not read half the subtitle of this movie and i be so engross in the visuals . when i watch it again and i read the subtitle . and realize that i have understand the entire thing despite the lack of pay attention to language . that say . this movie be stun . it be quite long and and there be a few bit that drag a bit and but the good make up for the not a good ten time . the photography of the norwegian landscape be astound and and the acting be subtle and completely believable . the dialog be more sparse than most movie that i have see and but add a single word more would become verbose . this be the story of a young woman in medieval europe who rebells against what she be expect to do and live to get what she want and and deal with the consequence which run deep . ( the church burn scene have me in tear ) .
