About
You may like this if you want a dark, emotionally charged period drama with a wild, unsettling lead and a moody Nordic feel; Not for you if you need a clear, tidy plot or gentle themes, like in The Cement Garden.
Pros: absorbing Nordic vibe; strong lead performance; intense drama | Cons: strange, violent moments; uneven pacing, many characters; awkward English dialogue
