Solid movie, all the actors and especially the lead gave great performances, but comparing to it's older, darker and more poignant brother Swedish Dag och natt with amazing Mikael Persbrandt, it's just not that great. It does have some great dialogs and great scenes, but overall lacks the impact that Dag och natt (dealing with subject of the last day in the life of a person who's decided to commit suicide) or Requiem for a dream (dealing with the subject of drug addiction) have. I guess the movie wanted to be too likable to general crowd and played too safe. Good, but it could be better if it were more brave and if it took some risk.
Review of Oslo, August 31st
