Review of Mortal

Mortal (2020)
4/10
Depressing, slow and boring.
28 February 2020
You know.. what the hell happened here? Øvredals last three movies are "Trolljegeren", "The autopsy of Jane Doe" and "Scary stories to tell in the dark". Three prette awesome movies. And then this? What!

It starts off depressing, and it keeps on being depressing, dark, slow and just a big downer all the way to the end.

The leads, Iben Akerlie and Nat Wolff have no chemistry, or very little at least. We don't get to know them at all. Nat Wolff is sulking and acting afraid. We get about a billion close ups of his face. He is also totally charmless, I'm sorry to say.

Overall the acting is ok tho. And it is kinda cool to see this kind of movie in norwegian. A lot of the dialogue is in norwegian.

The action is tolerable, if you can call it action? The movie looks pretty good. Nice nature. Probably the best thing about it. It's beautiful here in Norway. It's not exactly a bad movie, it is just slow, very uninteresting, and well, pointless. And again, Nat Wolff.. boy. He is so boring, and plays a character I don't care about at all.

And please get actual americans to play americans.
