    Editorial Reviews

    Following up on his acclaimed debut Absolute Hangover, Petter Naess spins this feel-good drama about a pair of misfits trying to get along with each other and the outside world. Elling (Per Christian Ellefsen) is a neurotic, shy would-be writer who still lives with his mother. That is at least until she dies, and poor Elling is cast of the house by the health department and sent to state institution. While Elling has no experience with the outside world -- though he has a very active interior world -- his roommate Kjell Bjarne is a sex-obsessed hulk mass of a man raring to get out. Initially, these two wildly different guys get along famously. Only when they move into public housing together do cracks develop in their relationship. Elling refuses to leave the apartment or answer the phone, and tries to restrict Kjell-Bjarne's movement as well. When the brawny lothario shacks up with the girl next door, Elling goes ballistic with jealousy. Does Elling accept his lack of control of the world or does he retreat into himself? This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

    October 28, 2004: I purchased this movie blindly - never have even hearing of it before and interested in foreign films, I was exceptionally pleased with this one from the start! It pulls you in and you can't help but feel you are right there in the room with the characters. I felt like I really got to know each person in the movie - a true connection! I highly recommend seeing this if you have a soft-spot anywhere in your heart...good, raw humor...sensitive situations and good, old-fashioned real life made this film a winner.

    Thoroughly enjoyable!by Anonymous
