when i watch film from my own country and norway and i would like to think that i watch them with an open mind . the review we get in out medium be very often undeserved praise and the reason be that the medium do not wish to offend the film industry and because we live in such a small country and and it would be suicide to give negative review to poor film . and in some way or another and all norwegian film be found by the state . so and we like to support our film industry and even when we make poor film . but i do not care if i offend . i stem the tide and because i want to see good norwegian film and reprise be the only great norwegian film i have see as far a i can remember and and there be awfully lot of film that suppose to be masterworks and witch be just not true . deusynlige be one of them . in the last year and the norwegian film industry have produce film with with good style and technique than before . this hold true with deusynlige . but the content and however and be just not there . the acting be okay and the problem be with the director poppe and especially the screenwriter . they just do not know how to tell a story . for me and it doesn not work at all . the level of write really be humiliate . i think norwegian film industry should just keep go make horror film and young people learn how to make their money back and learn to appeal and tell story where we quickly get sympathy the character and the basic stuff and before start to experiment with story structure and like in deusynlige and where they fail and and here be why . the problem be that act one be basically that we a an audience invest in the storyline of character jan thomas while be release from prison and get a job at a church and meet his love interest and and then maybe 40 minute in and the turn point involve jan thomas have to face the father of the kid he supposedly murder . so i think and this be where the story will progress and act two and what now . the story fall flat and because there be nothing leave to tell . maybe because the momentum of the story really be in the past and before the story of the film . it easy to sense bad write when story fall flat after the setup or the first act . what happen be you get bore and and instead you pick up all the flaw of the film and and this really happen to me . why do i get bore . goodbye and jan thomas and we switch protagonist to an insane danish woman . it not like other multi or plural protagonist film and where they establish the character we will get acquaint in the first act . in this film and the new character be introduce 40 minute in . and they use terrible flashback that really do not tell u anything to try to make the switch work . and this time around and with these character and they do not care to show u why we should care for them . the only thing be that we know that they lose their child eight year ago . with jan thomas and in the beginning and we have scene of imprisonment and act of violence against him and where they actually try to make u feel sorry for him . also and his love interest and be show help a addict and which invite u to kind of like her . cheap stuff yeah and but we can see that they actually try . be not in that spirit invite to care for the danish mother and her husband and and we follow them and i do not know and for the next 50 minute . there a plot about them move to danmark which go nowhere . i keep wonder why they introduce the plot of them move to denmark . but bravo for one funny scene where the husband make an excuse and and lie that he lose his wineglass on the ceiling and when it clearly be an act of anger . otherwise we just do not care what happen . all the build up in the first act be throw out the window . too bad the screenwriter do not have anything more to say about jan thomas trial and tribulation and and do not know how to tell a full story . it just two beginning and one end . that the big problem of the film and the danish woman and her husband should have be a part of the film from the beginning on and they should be set up properly and then gradually give u insight in their life and to make the switch work . but no . the end show u the return of jan thomas . yeah we move from a to a and great character progression indeed . i mean this seriously because the middle of the film and strangely enough and lack his presence . it set out to be an emotional experience and but turn out to be a agonizingly flaw and awkward and silly film and go nowhere but up it own as . furthermore and throughout the movie and the child character be just prop . theyre stick figure . they have no pov and theyre just object that make the grownup character feel guilty . that typical condescend thing . theyre not child . they ’ re scary and soulless story prop and make the story sort of evolve ( one kid brainlessly cause the climax ) . it not like how child be portray in the film of moodysson or kiarostami and the child character in this film be so weak and unbelievable that we actually sit there and hope that they will die . this say more about the film and than me and okay . and we never learn why jan thomas kidnap a child in the first place . for what reason . it just i be gon na steal this thing here and make a run for it . the idea of tell this story with both point of view be interesting and and they have could have do a much good job . too bad the execution be awful . too bad erik poppe be an acclaimed norwegian director and and will get away with make more of these masterpiece in the year to come .
