Hope

2021, 125 minutes, Not Rated

 

Note: in Norwegian with English subtitles.  

 

The twenty year relationship between modern dance choreographer Anja (Andrea Braein Houg) and theatrical director Tomas (Stellen Skarsgard) produced a blended family but has never been exceedingly close.  With work often dominating their lives and thoughts, what direction will be taken when Anja is given a life-threatening medical diagnosis?  Will they create a stronger connection?  Director Maria Sodahl mined her own near fatal brush with cancer when writing this, providing the screenplay some great emotional rewards.  Braein Houg and Skarsgard show how skilled actors can communicate powerfully without dialogue—simply by looks and gestures.

 

HOPE has earned 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
