The actual translation of this Oscar-nominated Norwegian film's original title, Sonntagsengel, is "Sunday Angels," which comes close to reflecting the state of innocence and grace from which the young heroine, Maria, attempts to penetrate adult mysteries in defiance of her father, a priest. The story is set in 1959, and Maria is unhappily lagging behind the rock & roll rebellion of her peers. Her father is severe and arbitrary in his judgments of what's best for her, her mother is in and out of a hospital, and her Sundays are spent in church, allegedly hanging on the old man's every word despite her ever-clarifying atheism. One way out: Find an ally as well as a cautionary figure in a lovely but miserable church servant who wishes she were as free as her true spirit. Directed by Berit Nesheim, the film is most vital during Maria's moments of unspoken yearning and accelerated confidence, giving us a palpable sense of a girl's inner life metamorphosing into womanhood. The rest--family scenes concocted to underscore Dad's own emotional conflicts and tyranny--are much more wooden. --Tom Keogh

It's 1959 in Norway, and Maria, daughter of the local priest, is on the cusp of budding young womanhood. But while this lovely film does delve into the awakening of her sexuality, it's even more about her growing awareness of herself as an individual, with thoughts & beliefs of her own. It does so in an understated way, rather than with overwrought melodrama -- the recurring image of the flowing river at twilight is a perfect metaphor here, reflecting Maria's own increasingly restless spirit.

`The Other Side of Sunday' is a slow but ultimately satisfying film from Norway about a intelligent, sensitive and beautiful teenage girl who questions the nature of God as it is mirrored in the lives and attitudes of her Father, the local priest, and the Christian congregation he shepherds. Her interior "crisis of belief" becomes more and more pronounced in her words and activities as her first communion day draws closer. Will she follow her heart ... Read More

Set in a Norwegian town in 1959, Maria is a young teen girl soon to become a woman, but is highly confused about her life. She is the daughter of a priest who loves and treasures his parishioners over family. Her mother is spineless while father is a stern dictator in the home. The family sits quietly to eat at the dinner table after the prayer/songs her father commands. He cannot tell her he loves her and she believes that the family only exists so the priest can have a home - a place to sleep and ... Read More

The story was nice, not spectacular, but because of the pretty Norske girl, I give this movie a 5 star rating. Scandinavian films with Scandinavian heroines are the best!
