Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
A very interesting and emotional documentary about a Norwegian family living in the wilderness with great emotional interviews and conversations with the main participants and a sweet and tender observation of a family dealing with grief, wilderness life, and growth in the societal world. Filmmaker Silje Evensmo Jacobsen does a really good job on documenting the journey of the family as Jacobsen's direction and approach to the subject matter felt sweet and tender to observe.
I genuinely felt emotional and connection to the family. I can't imagine how tough it is to leave a home behind due to a tragedy. Each of the children were really sweet and adorable to observe and I genuinely felt bad for the whole family. The movie also has some gorgeous looking camerawork and it also does so how beautiful Norway really is.
Despite some of the pacing could be improved, I found myself enjoying and connecting this documentary a lot. It's like Captain Fantastic but more impactful. One of my favorite documentaries from the festival.
