7/10. Recommended.

First of all, for a 20's movie, this is original. Of course there have been many similar, older movies, however most of drama movies nowadays are repetitive, they have nothing new to say, they keep parroting the same ideas and themes like they were made in the same lab. LOVEABLE dares to be different. There is also a lot of creativity and brilliance here. I must confess that i didn't understand this movie at first. During the first 30-40 minutes, i didn't even like it. Actors with zero charisma, flat acting performances, the whole premise was boring and i was not even sure of i should kept watching it.As the movie was progressing, i understood there is something deeper, and i was looking only on the surface. I won't be more specific in order to avoid spoilers, but i will say that this is getting better by the minute. LOVEABLE is a journey. I had forgotten this kind of movies, nowadays there are no journeys in movies, characters stay the same or the changes they're going through are unrealistic and shallow. LOVEABLE is a movie with depth, transformative experience not only for the leading character but maybe even for some viewers. And the actors should look like everyday people, not like Holywood stars.Ending was very emotional but hard earned, it had nothing to do with a shallow and meanigless happy ending or an emotionally blackmailing sad ending.I can't rate it higher because i didn't even like the first half. But this first half was necessary in order for the second to exist. If i was more mature, i would have rated it higher.

Interpersonal drama with a depth and magnitude that even Ingmar Bergmann would be proud of

A passionate relationship leads to marriage and children, and seven years later they find themselves stuck in what might just be an all-too recognisable urban family hell in the post-women's lib era, in which none of the members of the household feel they get the time, space, attention, and love they deserve and need. None more so than wife and mother of four, Maria (Helga Guren), who detests her husband's every hint of happiness and achievement in light of her own lack of such. When she lashes out at him one final time, his patience and tolerance are pushed to the brink, and he becomes cold and disinterested. First-time director Lilja Ingolfsdottir creates interpersonal drama with a depth and magnitude that even Ingmar Bergmann would be proud of. Elskling scrutinises its characters and relationships relentlessly, never allowing them (or us) the slightest respite from their own shortcomings or self-pity. There is an optimism in Ingolfsdottir's work, but it is well-hidden under the characters' defiance, insecurities, and rationalisations, and once we finally get to the much-awaited catharsis, it's not a typical movie catharsis of our protagonist changing her ways, but of her having slowly realised and come to terms with some of the mechanisms behind her problems. Elskling is a powerful, demanding and sometimes funny drama that isn't designed to make you happy, except perhaps about your own life as the credits start rolling. There are strong, stripped-down performances by the two lead actors, especially Guren.
