Audience Reviews for Nico and Dani

  • Feb 03, 2011
    An interesting "coming of age" story. Does I good job of showing the struggles of coming to terms with your sexuality. The struggle between exploring your true feelings and coming to terms with your feelings based on that exploration and simply doing what "society" expects of you to spite what you amy or may not be feeling. And more importantly it shows just how ridiculous it is to think that you have it all figured out based on one or two (early) experiences in life and how important it is to be open and honest with yourself and those who are close to you about what feels right for you. Sadly, the film ends on a rather flat and incomplete note - but for the most part it was rather touching. (No pun intended!)

    I'm currently still squinting out of frustration. I swear for the last 3-4 minutes of this movie I suddenly got worried that I was going to hate the ending so I got very squinty. Turned out I was right. The ending was inconclusive, at least by my standards and that just frustrates me. Besides the ending though the movie as a whole wasnt too bad. It had some good moments, I was drawn to the characters, however, as a whole it wasnt that special to me. Not bad, but not great either. What did this movie teach me? that it is possible to watch an entire movie and still not completely understand what the title means. does anyone know what Krámpack means? I cant find a definition anywhere.
