Beautifully done mystery/thriller. A disgraced investigative reporter is hired by a rich capitalist to try and solve a 40 year old disappearance. He eventually teams up with an emo in one of the unlikeliest pairs I can remember.
Several very harrowing/violent scenes were off-putting to me but ended up working thematically so I was OK with them. Great cine/landscapes brought out the stark, sterile beauty of wintertime Scandinavia. Solid acting with special mention to Noomi Rapace as the female lead.
This is what I hope for when I try a film I know nothing about.
