Aberdeen

About This Movie

Aberdeen is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama, with a rather raw and gritty vibe. Kaisa, played with a sharp edge, is this high-flying lawyer who's really living life on the edge—cocaine and fleeting romances echoing her chaotic existence. The film captures her journey back to her roots in Norway, confronting family issues that are far from glamorous. It’s this juxtaposition of a polished life in London with the messy reality of her family that creates a poignant atmosphere. The pacing allows for moments of reflection amidst the humor, and the performances, especially of the father character, have this haunting quality that lingers. Not your typical road film, it dives deep into personal demons and the messiness of relationships.
