I Am Dina Reviews

Honestly, before watching this flick, I had actually never heard of it so I really had no idea what to expect from it but since it was starring Gérard Depardieu, I thought I should give it a shot. In IMDB, it says that it was the most expensive movie produced in Norway and I must say the movie did indeed look pretty good. Furthermore, all the actors gave some good performances, especially Maria Bonnevie, Gérard Depardieu, Christopher Eccleston and Mads Mikkelsen. Still, I can’t say I was really impressed by the whole thing though. Indeed, the main issue I had was with the story. I mean, it was not bad but I can't say I was really blown away or fascinated by it whatsoever and I didn’t care much about the characters involved either. Basically, it was a really ambitious production but eventually, it only partially succeeded. As a footnote, I discovered later on that this movie was actually directed by Ole Bornedal who directed ‘Nightwatch’ (both the original and American versions). To conclude, in spite of its flaws, it still remains an intriguing feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Scandinavian movies.
