I loved this movie. My husband is Scandinavian, so right off the bat Olaf got to me. The Lutheran references were hilarious and the underlying theme of community and love was sweet.

Love this movie. Superbly acted, especially the actress playing Inga. I loved the way it was lit and filmed. I wish my grandparents were still alive so I could ask questions about living in this time period.

I agree with Rene R on this forum board...I'm doing everything I can to spread the word about this film. Lovely, understated, and stirring. Deserves to be a huge success, not only at the box office, but at the award shows.
