Me, My Friend and I(Elling)

Elling lives the first 40 years of his life sheltered by his mother. When she dies, he’s sent to a state institution, where he meets Kjell Bjarne, a female-obsessed virgin in his 40s. After two years, the men are released and sent to live in a state-funded apartment. Can they support each other on their own?

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

60

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

Deftly manages to avoid many of the condescending stereotypes that so often plague films dealing with the mentally ill.
60

The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias

The natural chemistry between Ellefsen and Nordin keeps the film pleasant and inoffensive, but is there any question about where or when or how it will go?
80

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

Elling believes so fervently in humanity that it feels almost anachronistic, and it is too cute by half. But arriving at a particularly dark moment in history, it offers flickering reminders of the ties that bind us.
