Goofs:

Factual errors: You can see yellow ear tags on several of the rein deer's ears. These tags are a modern way of identifying ownership of the rein deers. The traditional way of tagging rein deers was to cut unique markings in the rein deer's ears.

Really really makes you think

Why 9? Well it takes a lot to watch a film spoken in Sammi with Norwegian subtitles - when you don't speak either language - and come out of the cinema saying "Now that was a good film".

It's based on a true story set in the North of Norway 143 years ago of a Swedish store owner and his desire to supply alcohol to a growing number of Sammi men versus a Sammi wife and her desire to keep the men off the liquor.

It is a great tale and the acting is top drawer. The final scenes are especially poignant.

The irony of a Govt, Church and Business community intent on ensuring the supply of alcohol to a Sammi tribe struggling to cope with the concept of capitalism in a country that today preaches the exact opposite will not be lost on you.

Watch it. You will not regret it.
