剧情介绍
A couple with a large blended family has grown apart. When the wife is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, their life breaks down and exposes neglected love.
Anja (Andrea Bræin Hovig) and Tomas (Stellan Skarsgård), the principals in Maria Sødahl's moving Hope, adore their careers in dance and theatre. Their blended family structure is complicated, with two young sons and an adolescent daughter from their own union and two adult children from Tomas' marriage. Returning home after the triumphant international debut of a ballet she directed, Anja finds Tomas is working late, a galling abnegation of responsibility in her eyes. Then her physician gives her a dire diagnosis: she has an inoperable tumor that may be connected to the lung cancer for which she was successfully treated the previous year. A long-time superwoman who's been compensating for an often absent, workaholic husband, Anja soldiers on, refusing to tell anyone but Tomas what's happening - and becoming increasingly exasperated by her children's blissful ignorance, while only intermittently buoyed by Tomas' support. The next few days will test the strength of their relationship ...
3.5。身体绝望，但是精神仍然对爱怀有希望。暗流涌动
同类题材其实挺常见，北欧的就看看
在陷入脑癌绝境之后，一个家庭的应对，并追寻存活微小希望的故事。听闻自己将死的妻子，深受打击慌乱而暴躁，同时又异常愤怒。她离舍不下家庭、孩子，也不愿离开这个世界。她害怕别人取代她的位置，许多行为让其丈夫也很为难。斯卡斯加德饰演的丈夫也颇传神，得藏住内心的痛苦，忍受妻子的无礼，话不多，默默地支持妻子，还在妻子手术前安排了与她举行婚礼。两人的表演都很真实，其实这也是任何家庭都可能面临的人生。
生活的不如意
强势且主动的表演，但并没有失去控制。她设立了一个专注的剧场，让影像聚焦于女主（后段聚焦于主角两人）和焦外的一切对他们的干扰。是一种对题材的新尝试，但持续迸发的表现力也透支着人物的情感，也让这个属于当下的故事离人远去。
7/10
4.5
Heartfelt without being mawkish; very well-acted.
女主把得绝症后对亲情，爱情，婚姻的情感转变演得很真实，情绪崩溃和歇斯底里都是对人间的留恋和对他人的同情的反抗。
87/100
再次被北欧演员的演技所震撼，配乐高雅又切题。儿子们都好帅。题材其实新意不多，但是剧情紧凑、表演强势，对死亡和感情有一定的思索。
7.5# 节奏特别好 有几场戏十分动人 1.24 Princesa
有过婚恋生活的人对这部电影才更加感同身受。
太漫长了 健健康康的多好
HIFF 老斯卡斯加德都这么老了啊。故事放在圣诞到新年一周内，戏剧张力拉满了，女主的心路历程真的很让人共情，有多虑有大意的，但终究是无解的，还能怎么办呢……今天我情绪可能有点奇怪，从两个老人婚纱店突然相视而笑那段一直眼含热泪到结尾。
