Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

hollyholly Saw this at the IFFR - international film festival rotterdam 2014 edition ... It's an excellent slow-moving movie about a dying woman who takes psilocybin (ie magic mushrooms, not LSD as the IFFR synopsis says) and goes back to see her former self. The young her has an ostensibly amazing life – superhunk man, two lovely little wonders, pimp house on the side of the mountain ... yet she's deeply unhappy. The older woman wants to work it out and i don't think she does, although i was dropping in and out of sleep but i don't think that matters for this sort of film. It was really trippy in a good way, occasional dramatic waterfalls and lots of mountains. Dreamy. I'm sad to say that Cinerama 1 was a bit *beep* – the airco was on really loud and that sucked for such a quiet movie. Especially when the young self said to the older self that you have to listen to the silence and all you could hear was the background roar of the cinema. I love Cinerama generally – it feels like a Parisian cinema and its faded charms are great, but i think it's not doing so well (i signed a petition) … and the new lantaren venster is probably partly to blame for that. 2016 edit - Cinerama is still going strong! Moving this review over from the message boards which will soon be gone...

OJT The Quiet Roar is a Swedish-Norwegian-German drama is the second feature by Henrik Hellström (after his debut man tänker sitt" ("Burrowing") where we meet the cancer- dying Marianne, played brilliantly by Evabritt Strandberg, about to receive a highly experimental treatment for her illness-following anxiety - a mushroom trip. Hanna Shygulla plays the nurse Eva.Marianne, is a 68-year old Swedish woman who is diagnosed with a terminal cancer, with only three months to live. Left with angst, she seeks therapy at a private clinic where she is treated with Psilocybin, which is the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, as well as being succumbed to meditation by her counselor, Eva. Through this treatment she is transported to her subconsciousness.The film has an interesting premise, and is beautifully told with sharp gripping footage. This is amongst the best parts of the movie. The film acts on a meditative state. The life how it turned out was nothing like she thought while young.The film is a quiet roar, as the title implements. Nothing shocking here. But a undeniably trace of Bergman in both the acting and the storytelling. Quite impressive, but still definitely not for everyone.The finishing song, "Pandoras ask" by Kjell Höglund is a fantastic ending credit song of a movie like this. Search it up on youtube!
