Watch Thale For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This movie didn't get a 10 because, being low-budget, the CGI wasn't perfect. Apart from that, I thoroughly and absolutely loved it! The current era favors fast-paced films full of action, quick changes of scene, and tight plots that jump from moment to moment. This movie doesn't do any of that. It's slow, cerebral, quirky, very creepy, and full of wonder.I don't think anyone has ever put the Hulder-folk into a film before, and it was wonderful to see this interpretation of them. Very much in keeping with the varied and mysterious folklore that they're based on.I was a bit sad that it was so short!

Nordic Noir may be all the rage at the moment, and The Killing and The Bridge are indeed impressive achievements. But Thale proves the old Scandinavians are no slouch when it comes to horror movies either... although this particular one isn't the 'quake in your frilly knickers' sort.Instead, it provides a fascinating insight on what might happen if an 'alien' creature was kept prisoner by a well-meaning scientist, and the resulting fallout when two men hired to clean out the property find her, after said egghead dies. She demonstrates incredible power, psychic abilities and weird eating habits, but there are some ruthless people after her who'll let nothing stand in their way. Alongside members of her own race, who want her back...It ain't thrill a minute, but the plot and performances are of sufficient quality to keep one hooked, and even moving in some cases. Being short in length helps too, keeping unnecessary padding at bay for the most part. Special mention must go to Silje Reinamo, who not only convinces as a sympathetic extraterrestrial creature, but bravely hops around starkers for half the duration. Oops, hope I haven't unwittingly attracted the wrong sort of audience with that revelation... 6/10

Thale is an low budget adventure film, that takes place in Norway. Most of the acting is well done! and as far as the music goes, i must say that it is one of the better soundtracks in Norwegian film history. But the special effects and CG in this film aren't the best. but as I said, it is an low budget film. You can really see talent in the director of this film. So i would recommend to see this movie, if you are tired of the same old horror or adventure films. this is something new and special! This is not a teen movie, this is a good example for a new story film. but!! its not for everyone! if you expect a horror slasher film, you will be disappointed. but if you expect an adventure film. you will not get disappointed!

Thale is visually stunning, interesting in mythology and well - played movie. Yes, the story is poor and screenplay has some holes, design of "hurdles" is quite upsetting (the CGI is done well, but they look really strange), but this has an mysterious atmosphere, supplemented by shots of beautiful nature and melancholic music. Short footage is good move how to cover few deficiencies of screenplay, but maybe, it should have been 10 minutes longer...Over an above, the character of Thale was played very suggestively by beautiful Silje Reinåmo, and the characters of "two friends" are quite nice. Thale is strange fantasy, but it has also some aspects of art movie (the way the shots are stylized, minimalistic acting, static camera, few actors...).I'm certainly sure, that Thale will be forgotten, and that's really pity. It is because this movie is very unconventional, so it will barely engage the attention of masses, or at least some group of people - and maybe because you can't classify Thale into some universal film genre. It has some aspects of horror, fantasy, and also mystery drama. In addition, the low budget is obvious - but I don't think it is an negative in here.Would I recommend this movie to someone? Namely, if you expect much of horror/gore and action - forget it and better don't watch it. But if you like shots of beautiful nature accompanied by suggestive music, slow storyline, and you like the impressions more than action, maybe you will enjoy the Thale, as I did.
