Customer Reviews

A Great Movie
Watched this movie a few times, and really like it.... recommend it to all my norwegian speaking friends...

Fantastic music and grim realism
A memorable film, mostly beacuse of the grim reality-feel in the movie. You can tell that some of the story is bigraphical from the director.

Also a very good contributor to the good grades is the music; Tom Mcrae's work is amazingly perfect to the film and a crucial part of making this movie memorable, and thus; a film worth owning.

Bought it for the music...
I have to admit, I bought the Uno DVD not because I was expecting an amazing movie or even because I careed about the film itself. Rather, I bought the DVD because Ulver contributed some music to the soundtrack. As expected, Ulver's music didn't disappoint. Aside from Ulver, the soundtrack featured some tracks by another musician, Tom McRae I believe. His stuff sounded pretty good too.

As far as the movie goes, it was pretty solid. I'm not a big movie buff so I don't have much intelligent to say about the movie itself other than that I enjoyed it, especially the ending.
