Svein and the Rat

About This Movie

Svein and the Rat brings a quirky charm that's hard to shake off. It’s all about the bond between a boy and his pet rat, Halvorsen, whose disappearance during a pet contest sets off a string of frantic events. The film navigates through a whimsical chaos, where local newspapers blow the rat situation out of proportion. The pacing has this delightful ebb and flow, balancing the tension of Svein trying to keep his parents in the dark while also showcasing some whimsical misadventures. It’s really the practical effects and the performances that stand out, especially the way they breathe life into the characters. It’s a family film, sure, but there's an offbeat quality that adds an extra layer to the story.
