Frikjent (2015)
Intriguing character development
Nearly didn't watch this due to the bad acting at the beginning. But once the Malaysian element fades away, it becomes very intriguing.
Slow moving with plot twists and turns. In depth character development, especially with Eva as she loses control, unravels and shows her true narcissistic qualities.
Not for viewers looking for fast paced action and a quick denouement. This is about family dynamics, subtle and overt power struggles and the neurosis and co-dependence within the families. An exploration into manipulation, control and toxic, obsessive bonds.
The absurdly handsome Aksel at first seems unlikeable and egocentric, but we see a gradual unfoldment of his personality revealing a complex and deeply misunderstood character.
And the murder mystery is interesting too with a resolution at the end I did not see coming.
