In this stylish, often-frenetic first feature from Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier, reality deals blows to two young men who are best friends and struggling writers. The film is many things at once: portraits in miniature of mental illness, obsessive love, the uneasy transition from punk rock youth to "upstanding" adulthood, and fraternal competitiveness.
