Hope

...an intimate drama in which two stars, Andrea Bræin Hovig and Stellan Skarsgård, put on a clinic of how to play people used to deadlines, pressures from all sides, facing the worst thing any of us face — the end.

...it’s about love, grief and intimacy and it is conceived at a high creative standard.

...a tiny treasure, an honestly realised character study about the way a terminal illness reverberates around a family.

...a sneakily profound portrait of marriage and mortality whose emotional heft is unpeeled in delicate but devastating layers.

Årets bästa nordiska film.

Outhärdligt fängslande skådespeleri...

Regissören Maria Sødahl berättar delvis sin egen historia, starkt gestaltad av lysande Andrea Bræin Hovig i lyhört samspel med Stellan Skarsgård.
