10/24/2021 Before I watched this movie, I had no clue what this movie would be. And now after seeing it I'm simply not a fan. It's a simple movie on paper but with a relationship with the main character from game of thrones and her dad played by Stellan skarsgard. This movie is very high anxiety and uncomfortable at times. It's pretty hard to predict what's going to happen in this movie but for me the pace is a snails pace. That's my big problem. I like the idea of the movie and the actors are fantastic but maybe the editing is the problem or the script writing. But in the end this is also a forgettable movie that I will forget about in a day or two. But at least the poster is iconically cool.

She is surprised to receive a call from Helen (Charlotte Rampling), her dying mother, with a final request to bring Kaisa's estranged father Tomas (Stellan Skarsgård) to see her at the hospital. The film is a bit of a road movie with encounters along the way, some confrontational, such as boozing louts who harass her father or angry stewardesses issuing ultimatums, while some are romantic, such as truck driver Clive (Ian Hart) whom Kaisa attempts to use, but instead finds herself attached to. What started as an unavoidable chore, perhaps the last she will have never been able to dodge, becomes a new starting point in her life... Hans Petter Molands´s family drama moves you in many ways and we get a great cast. A young, lovely and great Lena Headey, the always solid Charlotte Rampling and Stellan Skarsgård plus Ian Hart. I saw "Aberdeen" when it came out, but I can´t remember my opinion back in 2000. But, re-seeing it now was very satisfying. I needed this film right now in my life as I encountered similarities to this story in my own life. And we get a excellent soundtrack from Zbigniew Preisner with great vocals from Stina Nordenstam in the closing song. See more 10/09/2014 Good acting, writing. Pretty depressing. Both are pretty unlikable, but are interesting enough characters to get past it. See more 08/23/2013 'Aberdeen' may give us a few questions and the script can be unsure of itself a few times. But the performances by Stellan Skarsgard and Lena Headey are good with this one. See more 06/05/2013 An enjoyable dysfunctional father-daughter story. See more Read all reviews
