FilmApe’s review:
As lame as it is to say, and it is very lame, Teddy Bear is The Wrestler meets Lost In Translation. Basically that means that it is absolutely superb. With a leading performance that is so painfully real it is almost hard to watch, Teddy Bear grabs hold of your heartstrings in the very first scene and then plays a concerto on them for the next hour and a half. I loved everything about this film and I hope that it gets some serious, serious love once it hits North America.
I heard about this and I'm really intrigued.
I'll hook you up next time I see you.
Very cool man!
Nice to see the film getting somewhere outside of Denmark. Didn't like it quite as much as you but I agree that the main performance was great. Also, nice way to put it, The Wrestler and Lost in Translation, I could definitely see that.
So did this play well in Denmark?
It got pretty good reviews but not that many people saw it. I believe it was the first film by that director. It was based on a short film he had previously made.
