Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
A must see for anyone growing up in the early sixties in western Europe. This film stands out from the lot for being so ordinary - you could say it is extraordinarily ordinary. It is more than just a film, it is a picture of life as it took place around the time of production. So even if you weren't around in 1961, watch it, you might learn a good deal about life in suburban Denmark in the year 1961.
