Criticism

"With these two excellent actors, Ulrich Thomsen as Zetterstrom and Henning Moritzen as Tom, the journey of the two WOULD very interesting and ambiguous. [ ... ] And that's the best thing you can say about the film "

"The film works for some certainly strange and possibly alienating. But you can also quickly realize that this strange and challenging film can be interesting. Man may even love him. "

" It acts as a whole somewhat rigid and irrelevant"
