Key opinion
The Trip (I onde dager) is a high-energy Norwegian genre-blender that effectively balances dark humor, marital drama, and extreme, inventive gore. While some critics find the violence excessive or the plot overly chaotic, most audiences and reviewers praise the strong lead performances and the film's bold, satirical tone.
| Acting | Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie provide high-energy, versatile performances that ground the film's chaotic tonal shifts. | |
| Direction | Director Tommy Wirkola successfully maintains his signature style by skillfully blending brutal, graphic slasher elements with sharp, sardonic dark comedy. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative makes effective use of nonlinear flashbacks to expand character motivations and introduce new plot complications. | |
| Emotion | The film's relentless gore and extreme violence are praised for their creativity by some, while others find the excessive focus on blood and anatomy repetitive or off-putting. | |
| Pacing | Opinions on pacing are split: some find the two-hour runtime brisk and engaging, while others argue the episodic structure and shifts between melodrama and horror disrupt the film's momentum. |
