Espoir

...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.

Outhärdligt fängslande skådespeleri...

Årets bästa nordiska film.
