pdemant The excellent cast is doing a fine job in transforming Elmer's vision of a loose/non-script story/idea into a very watchable lo-fi movie. A storyline is basically not present, but the viewer is offered an interesting possibility to observe everyday Copenhagen life through a group of friends in their 30's. The friends are hanging out in an apartment talking lots about soccer. The environment surrounding the three friend's soccer enthusiasm is very realistic, and have a certain dogma quality to it (the movie came right in the heyday of the Dogma95 movement). The scene where Sidsel B visits her boyfriend is mostly remarkable and peculiar, displaying the intense atmosphere of an uncomfortable situation, when she is investigating his affair.
McBuff Let´s get Lost is an enjoyable semi-improvised experiment, created by its director, Jonas Elmer, and the talented cast, with special kudos to Babett-Knudsen, who is very credible as Julie. Bjarne Henriksen´s Mogens is a likable dolt, and although some of the subplots tend to bog down, it´s an overall interesting film with realistic dialogue. A surprising Bodil winner, admitted, but a good film. 7/10
Sally_Kirkland This is a really nice film. It does not pretend to be something it is not, it is just about life. Sidse Babett is wonderful. When she smiles, you want to smile too. The movie is lowbudget and was made with no big stars - however they later all turned into stars. It may be rather dogmaish, but it was before Festen and Idioterne - something new, something nice.A fine film. Go see it!
Troels-4 In my opinion, this is a very, very charming film. The overall feel of it can be described by one word: JAZZ. Even though there is no obvious references to this art form to my knowledge, it shares it's level of improvisation, emphasis on personal performances and the possibility of the performers/actors actually surprising themselves. To quote an American jazz musician: "some of the baddest s*** that was ever thought, was accidental".
