My take

This movie, unlike many I've seen in a long time, made me just want to reach through the screen and give a big long hugging embrace to all of the characters. To the dad, to the two sisters, to Elle. I'm so glad they all got noms. I also loved that it was in Norway. Depression is hard and isn't always tears and explosions. Only a 7 because I wanted it to have a little bit more up and down in the emotional arc of the movie.
