By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 25 Feb 2014

Simple , funny & touching film about Swedish scientists who observe how bachelors living alone in Norway behave in the kitchen…

Kald mig en pladderhumanist, men dette er da en fantastisk film…

Parece uma representação do método de pesquisa 'mosca na parede' quando não existiam câmeras para monitorar a atividade do pesquisado…

A movie that pleasantly surprised me and has stayed with me longer than most big-budget films…

Some people might get bored. Yes it is slow. However, the slow pace fits the storyline perfectly…

This is one of the most interesting films I have seen in quite some time. It really captures the human nature and the human need for friendship…
