It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movies tells the classic Grimm story of the Juniper tree, a story about a hateful woman with her daughter who comes to live with a good man and his son. The story is slightly adapted for this movie so it becomes less fairy tail and more movie. Filmed in stylish black and white it has a great atmosphereYes, this is a lovely movie but it would have been forgotten long ago if it wasn't for the presence of Bjork. It has all the charm of the Grimm fairy-tale combined with the magical Icelandic landscape, they fit together very well. The acting is however so-so, as are the dialogs and the imagery. Some shots are great but mostly it is very simpleAll in all it is a very entertaining movie, with the charm of (very) low-budget

This is a truly beautiful movie!I'm a movie maniac AND also a big Björk fan. I got to know this movie only through Björk but I think that it's really great.The movie really feels like a fairytale (it is based on one). The feeling of it is just fantastic, the black & white creates a special atmosphere and I love the actors, not only Björk is grandiose in it! The unique Icelandic accent makes it very special to me (I'm Austrian). The story is VERY sad but at an extreme high artistic level I never expected from this little pearl.It is it really worth to buy it on DVD.Do it even if you like only Björk! You won't regret it. Björk is simply fantastic in it. She creates a huge part of the offered atmosphere. Support this movie, it's a masterpiece and I don't know anything similar to it's unique style.It's not only a fairytale, it's more... enjoy it!And something else: You can hear Björk singing even pretty often in the movie, one more reason to get it!I gave it 9/10 here on IMDb. It's a pity it isn't well-known.If you want to see one the best movies ever check out Dancer in the Dark (WITH BJÖRK). That one is probably the saddest movie I've ever seen. It's HEART RIPPING, so watch out. I think this is the only movie ever that me cry. Lars von Trier created with Dancer in the Dark such a great masterpiece it's nearly unbelievable. And I tell you, that one is really hard and worth gold.Hey, if you enjoyed Juniper Tree and like Björk, let me know please!

This movie is actually interesting at parts. Although some of it will bore you. The reason it is so interesting is because its weird and Bjork acts in it. I'll give it 8/10. All I have say now is that the ending will confuse you, I sure did get confused. In fact, I am very confused about right now.

Disturbing, but beautiful. I loved what this movie portrayed. I love bjork I wish she hadn't chosen to quit acting after "Dancer In The Dark." But I respect her decisions.
