More films like this one would get me off the couch and back to the cinema.
Lovely acting set in a community that feels so very real (if not a wee bit romanticized.)
There is an element of subdued magic realism in the film that finally blossoms into something like faith.
All adults will gain something by watching this film.

Synopsis
After an absence of several years, seminary student Daniel Sullivan returns in his wintry, Wisconsin hometown of Silver River. But if he's to assist the dying Father Rob, he's going to need to sway the skeptics who learn that he hasn't spoken to his younger brother, Jake - a reclusive pot dealer - in years. With the help of a young woman from his past, Danny tracks his brother down, and the two embark on a ride of faith, (ice)fishing, temptation, drugs, and rock 'n roll on the way to confronting their shared scars from a past tragedy that shaped their lives.

A captivating film.
truly an interesting movie
Imagine the rascal boy ,coming back to his little and severely religious hometown as a clergyman, meeting up at his drug selling,joyride living brother, the rascal number two, both having psychological issues, to what happened to rascal number three a few years ago. add on the local vicar,the church community, and all the other people of all kinds and sizes, it can be unpredictable.... i shall not summarize more, due to the threat of being stigmatized with a spoiler review.
its a funny, actually hilarious at times, but also deep and sad at moments, it has a take on different issues connected to the catholic church, but not damaging or done in a harrasing way. there are a lot of innocense in the story, and reminds me very well about my first real working day as the head nurse or matress instead of matrone. the feeling of being a proffesional without knowing anything i was supposed to know, well it was frightening indeed.
it is on average quality of filming, the soundwork couldve been better, especially on the lake where you should suppose it is dead quite, but get some industrial like noise in the background. its very disturbing for an old man to listen to due to tinnitus, so that could have been better.
the acting are very good by the 3 main male caracters, and i guess ive seen mr.riehle for the 75TH time including this movie, a small but well acted role.
though the grumpy old man does not think its a blockbuster, or what ill expect that norwegian tv-channels would buy, its still a watchable film, ok playtime and pace, but could have dove deeper into the matter i guess
Spectacular film!
This film impacted me more than any other film this year. The performances are incredible and the story heart wrenching.
