Anders Danielsen Lie's performance is phenomenal, and Viktoria Winge is gorgeous, weird nipples though. : /

Count down from 10 and then watch this brilliant film!

"This groovy little film is spiked with an arresting, hyper-saturated mix of sadness and joy." - Ed Gonzalez

Reprise is very ambitious, and quite challenging at times. It's an intellectually aspirational film, but it largely avoids being pretentious. It can be very gloomy and even depressing in some sections, but it also has a lot of fun and excitement going for it. Trier may have bitten over a bit more than he could chew, but that's a lot better than never having bitten over anything at all, or however the saying goes.

Poetry on speed - welcome to 21th century Norwegian melancholy. Brilliant.

Starts with a bang, and good performances by the entire ensemble, but does not manage to hold the viewer's interest for the duration. Despite containing numerous interesting, inventive and amusing moments, in the end it becomes a bit directionless and even tiresome.

A film that needed a narrator because it wasn't good enough in itself. Problem is the narration is more like a novel on tape.

Has a hard time living up to its bombastic opening montage...

I can see why this film gets a lot of praise. Trier's direction is cool in a fresh and intuitive way. He puts emotion before plot, and it makes the film seem very organic. But somehow, it doesn't get to me. Part of the problem is Phillip whose psychoses seemed thematically distracting, and thus annoying. There were also a few badly written scenes in which the events were way too forced and unbelievable. Overall, I think of it as a film with some bad, a lot of good, but hardly no great moments.

23-24 yaslarinda Joy Division dinleyip dilin amina koyan kitaplar yazan hallice genclerin hikayesi - baya benzer kafalar. Basroldeki cocuk da tam bir Lars von Trier. Tip olsun, tav%u0131rlar, nevrozlar olsun. Filmin ses kullan%u0131m%u0131 cok cok iyi, kurgu ilginc ama cok da fazlasi degil. Tam bir 2000ler Avrupa filmi - lakin iyi, zeki ve entellektuel bir ornek.

Toys with conventional narrative and editing in a risky way, but pulls it off well. It also manages to pull off a combination of gritty realism and fresh comedy. This is a pretty unique film really, particularly compared to other Norwegian films. I've seen several Norwegian films that I've enjoyed, but I haven't before seen a movie that actually restored my faith in the Norwegian movie industry. So I guess this is pretty great. Couldn't get enough of Victoria Winge.

10..9..8... loved this film, although at times it seemed like listening to Vicky Pollard explaining it to me.

A fine, thoughtful film. A bit too restless, but intelligent and seemingly quite heartfelt.

I read somewhere that this is a movie that takes place in the subjunctive tense. I like that description.

Jules et Jim for the 00s? Probably not. It does have some of its spirit and intelligence though.

One of the finest films from Norway the last few years, telling a story about the human psyche.

Interesting little film. Appreciated the formal qualities--particularly the way the narrative unfolded in stops and starts, the slightly satirical narration, and the use of occasionally abrupt and jarring edits. Further, the lead characters are types that are easy to hate, but end up evoking a modicum of sympathy by virtue of a gentle directing touch.

I enjoyed the unusual way it chose to tell its story and I liked Kari, Phillip and Erik. The rest of the characters were kind of disposable but it's not about them really. There are some inspired scenes but sometimes the movie just plods along and lost me a few times. Still, it's a completely well made movie that could have gone terribly wrong and didn't. 10 points for the dog taking Erik out as well... I laughed really hard.

a decent start for the director, a bit cliché, schizo writer and his obsession: the cute love of his life, the idea of wanting to write is something bla bla. too optimistic for my taste, but generally good, flows nice, better than average cinematography although looks very much like deviantart photos.

unintentional self-parody

Fucking hate optimism YEAH LONG LIVE PESSIMISM 420 BE UPSET EVERY DAY

Fantastic film; a classic coming-of-age story, but one of the few I could actually relate to. Incredibly well written and well paced (it could have gone horribly wrong considering the unusual narrative technique), with good cinematography and a perfect cast. And despite the serious nature of the film, it's very funny. Also, and I can't help mentioning it, Victoria Winge as Kari is hauntingly beautiful.
