What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Such dark doings won't be for everyone, but fans of similarly dry Nordic fare -- like the works of Aki Kaurismaki -- will be happy to have found it.
The film is vigorous exercise for those who prefer their mysteries knowing and knotty.
This is a smart, melancholy crime picture, which takes its cues from the title of the perverse old standard Christensen plays on her stereo at night: “You Always Hurt The One You Love.”
The Hollywood Reporter by Ray Bennett
The film gets seriously weird as it goes along, but without losing its sense of direction or taste for offbeat humor.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Not a horror movie but a witty, expertly constructed psychological thriller.
The actors are charmingly low-key, and the lensing, by Jorgen Johansson, adds to the offbeat aura. Whatever you do, don't miss the booze-guzzling showdown.
San Francisco Chronicle by Walter Addiego
It may not sound funny, but there's a bleakly comic air about the story, and a bit of surrealism, suggesting the most caustic side of the Coen brothers.
