Lars (Aksel Hennie) and Lisa (Noomi Rapace) have lost much of the love that brought them together in the first place. Now, they're struggling to maintain their marriage, and their ambitions. Lars' career as a director has stalled out in soap operas, and Lisa hasn't landed a part in years. Lars feels ignored, suspects he's being cheated on, and struggles financially. Lisa thinks Lars is a spoiled, self-centered coward. Nothing about their lives turned out the way they'd thought it would – their marriage least of all. So a weekend trip to the family cabin in the woods seems to offer them both an opportunity to get rid of the other. Permanently. But not even this goes according to plan. The trip involves more surprises and unforeseen turns of events than they'd imagined. (Netflix)

Tommy Wirkola aborde les crises conjugales différemment de Woody Allen. Tout aussi amusant et créatif, mais très différent. Cela m'a rappelé pourquoi j'aime tant les films réussis de créateurs talentueux, qui font leur travail avec joie et ont de bonnes intentions envers nous, les spectateurs. The Trip est la version norvégienne des films de genre américains, où tout devient étonnamment compliqué et saignant. Fortement ironique et sérieux, grotesquement brutal et plein. L'histoire n'est pas totalement originale, mais les personnages et leurs pulls ne sont pas banals. Malgré sa simplicité initiale, le film est finalement bien monté et intense, exactement comme le souhaite un spectateur satisfait. L'équipe des acteurs est géniale ! ()
The Trip, c’est une thérapie de couple sous le traitement du boucher norvégien Tommy Wirkola. C’est drôle et bien senti, ça se déroule dans un décor magnifique et à certains moments, c’est totalement « over the top ». Un spectacle très rafraîchissant. ()
When I saw Tommy Wirkola's name attached as director, I had no doubt this film was going to be a blast. The film is a wild ride about two people who head to a cabin with the intent to kill each other, only to find themselves caught in a series of absurd and unexpected situations that turn into a fight for survival. I had a great time watching it — it gave me serious Shaun of the Dead vibes, which is the gold standard for me when it comes to this kind of film. The only thing missing was a punchier soundtrack. If that had been there, I wouldn’t have hesitated to give it five stars. Still, Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie were absolutely fantastic. ()
We already know that Tommy Wirkola is talented and even though this time he chose a more intimate film than his previous works, it works well, even if I have minor complaints. It's a bit of a variation on the Russian film Why Don't You Just Die!, but more in tone, style and brutality than in concept. A married couple go to a cabin with the intention of killing each other, and this is complicated by an unexpected visit from three idiots. The pacing is slower and the humour works about halfway. It's a kind of adult humour where serious topics are discussed with a light and black-humored tone so it depends on taste, I would have liked something a little different and would definitely have cut the film by about 30 minutes. When it came to the violence, however, Wirkola is nicely brutal, spares no great ideas and makes great use of all the tools around him (though there are a couple of sequences that are just a tease, like the one with the shotgun and the one with the lawnmower). Overall, decent and entertaining, but I was slightly hoping to be a bit more satisfied. Story 3/5, Action 4/5, Humor 3/5, Violence 4/5, Fun 4/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 3/5, Atmosphere 4/5, Suspense 3/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 3/5. 7/10. ()
Check it out, it's really funny, he said. And although it's not a comedy the way I normally think of them, he was right. The comic aspect here, among other things, works brilliantly. The characters are likable and lukewarm at the same time, making for a rather unique spectacle that you definitely don't want to walk away from. ()
Mr.and Mrs. Smithsen meet (Not so much) Funny Games Norway. Tommy Cirkula Wirkola introduces the tools for future carnage in one of the scenes, but he was unable to introduce the characters throughout the film. Roy's Nazi stool saga isn’t exactly the pinnacle of humor, and after a series of unnecessarily stretched scenes, it was only a matter of time before the humor would die from thinness. ()
A cynical comedy, subversive and bloody, thanks to Wirkola. After years of marriage, a married couple can’t stand being together after all these years and so each of them invites the other to their country cottage with the aim of killing them. Rapace is splendidly two-faced and Hennie’s transformation over the course of the second half is worthy of praise. The occasional explanatory asides that this movie is peppered with don’t seem to be cheap helpers, but carry a large portion of typical Norwegian humor inside them. The ending is a perfect reflection of today’s society. ()
I had fun, but during the final half hour, which just stretched everything unnecessarily, I got over my enjoyment. If they could manage to condense the story more and the film was 30 minutes shorter, I would definitely be happier. Either way, this silliness is worth seeing, whether you're a fan of Tommy Wirkola, Noomi Rapace or just this quirky "Tarantino-light" genre. ()
Tommy Wirkola surprised me with What Happened to Monday and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, but this one oddly enough didn't work so well with me. It has to be said up front that this is a slightly different film than what one would think of as classic Norway. The first half is a little heavy-handed, but then the film picks up and manages to entertain relatively well. The idea of three prison escapees in a house isn't terribly original, the acting is average, and otherwise the film generally doesn't pull anything off. It's kind of an ordinary cross between a parody and a home invasion flick with decent gore, but it only goes halfway in both directions and didn't really come together for me in the end. I had the feeling the whole time that I didn't care what happened next in the film. A golden average - nothing terrible, but nothing to cheer about like others here. ()
An excellent film that will have you laughing out loud, unless you’re a sensitive person in which case it’ll make you sick to your stomach. The Norwegian filmmakers went all out and punched up what could have been a run-of-the-mill home invasion so well that it would make even Quentin Tarantino proud. But he probably would have wished there were two hours more of talking:-) It was a very violent film, parts of human anatomy were cruelly cut, stabbed, shot, chopped, torn, and shattered, lying around in both a solid and a semi-liquid state, and yet there was still room for a considerable amount of quality (mostly black) humor. If Noomi Rapace's character hadn’t exhibited T-1000 resistance, I would have given the movie five stars. But it still deserves a strong four. 4*+ ()
I'm quite familiar with Tommy Wirkola’s work, so I knew what to expect. Norwegian filmmakers have repeatedly shown that black humor is their forte, and The Trip is no exception. I must particularly praise the cast. The duo of Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie, delivered an incredibly entertaining performance, with their lines being sharp and meticulously crafted. The first half of the film has a slower pace, but once it gets going, it truly ignites into an inferno! From that point on, prepare for a bloodbath. I enjoyed the central subplot involving the prisoners; their interaction with the main characters brought fresh energy to the film. However, I won’t rate it higher because the very end felt like the creators were running out of steam. Still, it’s a fantastic addition to the genre of bloody black comedies. For me, it’s a 7.5/10.
