It is indeed a profoundly sad, yet beautiful & moving love story. If by chance you're a Midwesterner of Scandinavian or German descent, you'll be moved to tears again & again. My wife & I were weeping at the end. This is a beautiful movie.

Very interesting movie... About love and land and many things more...

I believe this is director Ali's first feature length film. He did a magificent job. Truly a masterpiece visually and with a great story an characters.

I look forward to see what else he comes up with.

I have a slight feeling that what she said in the beginning of the film was supposed to be a mixture of German and Norwegian.. But I can't hear the norwegian in her accent...

This is an excellent move. I recommend it to anyone but especially those with concerns about immigration and building up an inclusive society. It's also a very sweet love story.

From where the trailer began and till );12, that's more words there than Elizabeth Reaser has said in all of the twilight movies combined! Love her! She's such a great actress, and she deserves more time in the spotlight.

@o0OHermioneO0o sounds a bit like norwegian. which would fit with this being a movie about a norwegian girl moving to usa

I saw the movie in the theatre and wept for its beauty in the portrayal of what it is really like to love the land so much and to turn that love to each other for sustaining their lives, that I stayed until the end to see from what story this was taken, and I now own the movie, and I purchased the book of short stories, one of which was used to portray this poignant and deeply moving love story. I will marry the woman that watches it with me and understands its true message.

@o0OHermioneO0o i heard she had limited time to study another language and also memorize the lines and portray them on screen convincingly. she sounded pretty convincing to me. and i think she did a great job acting the part, regardless of the weird accent.
