Dir. Maria Sodahl (Norway 2020, 130mins 15)
Norway’s 2021 entry to the Oscars is a beautiful film with wonderful performances from Andrea Braein Hovig and Stellan Skarsgard, whose disintegrating marriage confronts the devastating news at Christmas of the wife’s terminal illness. Depressing? No, it's outstanding and human.
