Dead Boy Detectives (2024)
Another a dime a dozen young adult fantasy show.
I am most likely not the target audience. But what happened with being creative? It tries very hard to be contemporary and cool. With fast dialoges and fast editing. It comes off as corny to me.
But I guess im not the target audience. That said. I wish they put more creativity in these young adult shows. This could have had more potential if the show runner just tried to be a tad more original.
The actors do an okay job. But to me it comes off as uninspired.
By just watching a scene this could just as easily been the wheel of time, carnival row or any of the dozen of young adult fantasy shows that keeps being churned out. All having almost the same style, look, feel and characterizations.
Exit (2019)
Bad writing, uninteresting characters
Dont understand the raving reviews. It had potential, it could have explored the deeper psychological mechanism that shaped these guys, in a social democracy. Instead we see a group of flaccid versions of Bateman and Gordon Geck. Its shallow. Full of on the nose dialoge and an empty storyline. What did they want to tell or explore with this story? Also, i'm so tired of that desaturated gray colour palett a lot of norwegian tv and films sport.
Fra balkongen (2017)
insisting voice over that philosophies about life with banal conclusions
Why? Why was this made? Its a weird one this. No clear narrative, no structure. The only thing that ties the film together is Ole Gievers banal and insisting voice-over that continues throughout the film. This is not a film. Its an essay accompanied by random photos. Half the film could have been a slightly interesting essay on life (although Gievers conclusion on life and its meaning is utter banal). The other half looks like a badly made TV documentary from the 80s.
Why does he keep getting funds to make movies? He has no cinematic skills. I always leave his films wondering why they where made. Because most of them would work better as a text. There are many visual talents in Norway. Give them a chance. And give this guy a pen and a publisher.
