terrible... so disappointed.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Once we rented this movie just to see what it was about. We were fairly impressed. It focuses on Oslo mailman Roy Amundsen, who is sort of down on his luck. Then, he gets interested in a woman and starts following her around. When she leaves her key in a mailbox, he has it copied, gets locked in her apartment, and gets a little (or a lot) more than he bargained for! Some of the world's most interesting movies have come from Scandinavia (e.g., anything by Ingmar Bergman). "Budbringeren" (called "Junk Mail" in English) is no exception. This look at some of Norway's grittier aspects is truly eye-opening. Maybe it's not any kind of masterpiece, but it's still an interesting slice-of-life tale.

would like to tell you that the movie is categorized as IIB and shown at Cine-Art House only. film title "Junk Mail" is used instead of 'Budbringeren';selling points of this feature on local paper included Cannes Festival, Sundance, Oscar best foreign film nomination.

A twisty-turny narrative that ultimately leads nowhere, avoiding both exposition and explanation at the end of the day. Like a Nordic Coen Brothers film, this is more concerned with portraying quirky characters and odd scenarios, but despite some nifty camerawork, it is a rather ugly film, revelling in its depressingly squalid milieu without making any real point at the end of the day. The anti-hero remains a complete enigma throughout, but funnily enough, despite my reservations at the beginning, it was rather hard not to be won over at the end of the day. There were some marvellously taut action and suspense sequences, and some hilariously humourous scenes. Rather similar to most Scandinavian films I've seen actually. Dark grey and depressing, but blackly comic.

The Norwegian movie, Budbringeren/Junk Mail, nearly got an Oscar. The movie has changed the Norwegian film culture totally. It's sarcasms and black humor are actually working well on most people. The thing with Junk Mail is that people either like it, or not. It's difficult to explain. Many people from other contries, would think of Oslo as a horrible city... well, It's not. Oslo is actually beautiful, well, most of it. The only problem with this movie is that they are showing the worst parts of Oslo (The film was made in a small part of Oslo east). It can make people from other contries think of Norway as a 'dirty' country... Please don't think that about Norway just because of a 'black' film. I do think that for an international movie, like this one, that they should have shot a few scenes in better parts of the city. If you already have been to Norway, Junk Mail probably would be funnier to watch...
