The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

'Reprise' tells the story of two young men with literary ambitions. Set in 2006, it certainly breathes the spirit of that time.The characters in this film are well acted, and very human. And also very Norwegian: heavy-handed, reflecting a country where the winter lasts for nine months a year.Through all this, we see a nice performance of the non-literary girl Viktoria Winge. Her down-to-earth performance makes a refreshing alternative to all literary violence.

I don't really know how I'm gonna manage to fill this review with enough lines, but I'll try.I write this review because I wan't to say how overrated this movie is. That's the only reason.I write reviews pretty much for three reasons, to tell people how good a movie is, how bad it is, or if I have something I just have to say about it. This is the second one.There is nothing special about this movie. It is a typical Norwegian drama. Boring, and not interesting at all. The acting is OK, it's Norwegian acting, which is very acting-like, if you catch my drift. Unrealistic. I'm think that doesn't come across very well for people who don't speak Norwegian, and watch this with subs, but trust me. Things have changed a bit in Norwegian cinema, since this movie, but when this came out, pretty much no one in Norway made interesting movies. It is a bit better now. Some horror and action-ish movies have started coming, that are actually good. Anyway, Reprise is meh.

I like movies, I like new movies, I like not afraid to watch a different movie, also I saw the whole movie. Now, why did I not like this movie? For me, there was no point. There was no beginning or end. No story. Just some character development which was OK, the characters seemed interesting. I like that it was in Norway, I like to see how foreign people talk and act. But besides that, i got nothing from this film. It was to choppy and didn't flow very well. People make fun of me for liking "boring" "deep" "drama" type movies but....This movie was actually boring. It touched on a few things like love, and depression/suicide. But on a very shallow level, just a slight touch. Not enough to feel the depression or love ourselves. I do not mind watching movies that have a slow pace, but they have to pay off with some substance, and this movie made me regret even watching it. I usually always say a movie was "ok" but this one was not. I will still watch Oslo 31 august, to visit Norway again, but Reprise was simply to boring and not impact-full enough.

I usually enjoy most films about writers and their artistic process, whether they're fictional (such distinct films like "Barton Fink" or "Wonder Boys") or biographical narratives (Virginia Woolf's imagined but wonderfully creative portrayal in "The Hours", Brian Gilbert's rendering of "Wilde", etc.). I haven't seen many interesting attempts to portray the young writers of the new millennium, but Joachim Trier's captivating début "Reprise" is as fresh, smart and instigating as discovering a new literary voice.The story of two competitive Norwegian friends from Oslo (played by Anders Danielsen Lie and Espen Klouman-Høiner), their literary ambitions and troubled personal lives, is told with fast editing, quirky humor and solid ensemble acting. Trier clearly knows what he's talking about, an has an eye for stylish, bittersweet and cynical images (there's a fantastic scene with the protagonists' group of friends and a female editor who's interested in one of them, as they sit and talk by the water: the dialogue is sharp, the imagery is sensual, vibrant and tense all at once, and it plays like a good cathartic speech directed by the Danny Boyle of "Trainspotting" time). This is a promising director we should keep an eye on. 8/10.
