A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I was hooked when I sat down (only meaning to sit down for 5 mins), on the TV this girl lamely resorting to saying 'walking' when asked what one of her co-workers is good at. In the film, the main character, a man in his late thirties, not faring too well in life who's just waiting for something to happen, runs into the same woman several times and starts to take an interest in her. When he sees her leave a key in her mailbox while on the job he can't resist; this was the first in many instances that left me saying "what the hell is this guy doing?". Not only does he check out her apartment but he gets the key copied, and even gets trapped there on a return visit, resorting to hiding under the bed when the woman unexpectedly arrives. Like the other reviewers were saying, this film does make Oslo look a bit shabby (not that I've been there). It's is worth watching, just to see what this guy gets up to and it's a memorable viewing experience.

The Dutch TV guide gave this the "Film of the Day" title and appropriately so. They also described the main character as a cross between the postmen from "Il Postino" and Bukowski's "Post Office". That description cannot be improved upon. Dark, tense, funny, fresh.

The atmosphere of this film, with it's dirty, miserable version of Oslo, and the lowlife, ugly losers and criminals... it's extremely well done. I think people who like "Down by Law" and the Finnish part of "Night on Earth" might like this one too.

This has to be the best norweagian movie for many years. The carachters are great, the athmosphere is really dark, like in the center of town. It really catches Oslo at it's darkest, things that we really know, but don't really think about. Like how much does your mailman really know about you? It's a fun movie as well, see it!!
