I just saw "Elling" and found it to be the most charming film I've seen in ages. The two main characters are totally engaging, and I found myself falling in love with them.
I just hope an American film maker doesn't buy the rights and Americanize it to the point of stupidity. Elling is an intelligent, sensitive film, but also laugh out loud funny. From the round of applause at the end of the film, I'd say it was certainly a crowd pleaser.
One important detail was extremely well-done. The subtitles for this Norwegian film were clear and easy to read, unlike some others I've seen.
