Diane says: “First, nobody warned me that my old heartthrob Stellan Skarsgård had aged so much. Second, I was put off by the elegant lifestyle of this Oslo Brady Bunch, but that’s just me. Director and writer Maria Sødahl draws from her own life for this drama about a middle-aged creative, Anja, who is faced with a devastating cancer diagnosis. The fulcrum of this story is the relationship between Anja and her partner of 20 years and father of her three kids. An older set of three are with them for the holidays, too.

“Andrea Bræin Hovig does very well capturing Anja’s steroid-enhanced anger, confusion, and misplaced altruism. With Skarsgård as her opposite, touch and its absence are what you notice most in this film. Although I wept for them a bunch of times, I’m left giving it 3 cats. I was really in the mood for something edgier.”
