I loved this movie. It was both funny and touching. The beginning scenes when they take Elling out of his home broke my heart. Good acting! Loved Kjell Byrne or whatever his name was.

I sympathized with Elling. I have panic attacks and know exactly how he felt about crossing the resturant being a challenge. Though Elling had enough reason to be afraid of everyday things, I'm not sure what my excuse is...LOL.

I also liked Frank, the social worker.

Great characters! Good writing! I wish they would dub it in English so my boyfriend would watch it...lol.

i saw it in english. i can i dont know noreign. it was great in english. in fact the dvd i got had only with the english subtitles. i can get it for you if youd like. and who cares about language barrel, if hes worth it that then thats all that matters.

You are very sweet! I will see if any of the other libraries in my state have it in English. I hadn't thought of that!

actually thats how i just saw it. i got it from the library. oddly my stupid librarians didnt like that film. I dont think youll find it in english, just english subs. the subs are fine though. Ill be getting online soon and i can just send you the link when you want to. that way you even have be bothered by all that library stuff. you can just watch it on the comfort of your own home on the pc.

cool thanks!I love foreign films but sometimes have to wait to watch them because usually when I'm watching a movie I'm doing a hundred other things as well. My boyfriend says I don't watch movies as much as I listen to them. So I have to save my foreign films for when I have time to just sit watch, listen and read.
