Hope Reviews
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Maria Sødahl's considers the extreme emotions provoked by a medical emergency with an impressive force of clarity.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
Both lead actors do wonders with silent glances, but also display complete command of Sødahl's excellent, stripped-of-nonsense dialog.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
The effect of Hope is anything but depressing; it's reassuring proof of art's ability to comfort as it clarifies.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
The full, flawed humanity of Hovid and Skarsgard's characters is imbued in nearly every scene, even their smallest interactions bearing the full weight of a long romantic history.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Andrea Bræin Hovig and Stellan Skarsgard are transcendent.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie offers hope to its characters but, even more affectingly, to us.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
This is a very well-acted, well-written Norwegian drama... Clear-eyed, insightful, and heartfelt.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Raw, melancholy and unquestionably mature, "Hope" understands that some wounds may never be healed.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Hope" isn't about getting you to cry, even as some of its characters occasionally do, but rather giving you an invigorating, even uplifting sense of what hearts can do under duress...
Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
A melancholy but highly satisfying adult drama.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
Given the autobiographical nature of the piece, it's bracing to see a life-or-death story handled with this combination of intimate emotion and stoic detachment. This plays right into Skarsgard's wheelhouse, while Hovig gets to do most of the emoting.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
Sødahl, who mined her own brush with cancer when writing the film, teases out the unexpected byways where hope is not just crushed but nurtured.
Asheville Movies
Edwin Arnaudin
There are no gimmicks or twists to be found here - just a straightforward terminal illness drama that allows genuine emotions to shine through in every interaction.
In Review Online
Mattie Lucas
Hope is not an easy film; its emotions are ragged and raw and unvarnished by the Hollywood sheen that so often covers films about lovers facing impending tragedy.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
I can imagine a Hollywood soap-operatic interpretation of this story whose final moments would be a semi-uplifting. But Sodhal bravely maintains her stoic approach to her script's emotional mood swings.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Profoundly moving, honest and gripping. Andrea Bræin Hovig gives a bravura performance.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
[Andrea Bræin Hovig and Stellan Skarsgård's] performances transported me in their unadulterated discovery of the beauty of love.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
a complex character study expertly performed by Andrea Braein Hovig. She is the draw that gives us "Hope."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Sødahl digs into this tenuous bond, avoiding manipulation or melodrama.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
The filmmaker has been through this horrific ordeal herself, so every minute feels painfully genuine; "resonant" simply doesn't do Hope justice - it's as sublime as it is utterly gut-wrenching.
