Review of Louder Than Bombs (2015) by Tor M — 13 Nov 2016

Joachim Trier is one of the top Norwegian film makers of newer times. "Reprise" and "Oslo 31. August" are great flicks, this is his first English spoken feature.

A fragile family is dealing with the lady of the house's death. She was a known war photographer, before she died in a pretty unexplanied car accident - there are some theories, though. The two young men of the family is coping in different ways, the elder one seem to give the youngest some advice, while the dad seem to struggle a bit to keep them close, especially the youngest one.

Partly multinarrative, but I feel that the youngest boy is the main guy here. The solid cast delivers and it looks great. It lack some originality and true emotions, so I was let quite disappointed. The swell feature of a great "Com Truice" song is the highlight for me. OK effort, but nothing else.

6 out of 10 pee streams.
