About This Movie

Vikes (2017) offers a unique blend of comedy and romance, set against the backdrop of a high school that’s grappling with its identity. The protagonist, Thorvald, isn’t your typical hero; he's more of an underdog trying to navigate teenage life while tackling the controversial name of his school's teams. The film has this quirky charm, with a tone that balances earnestness and humor. The pacing leans towards the light-hearted, allowing the romantic subplot to develop naturally alongside the main storyline. The practical effects are minimal, but there's a focus on character interactions that gives it a certain warmth. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s distinctive in its exploration of cultural sensitivity through the lens of young love.
