Depressing, provocative and frustrating. ***R.M.N.*** (meaning M.R.I. in english) is a story about childhood trauma, masculinity crisis, intolerance, xenophobia, racism, and has a lot of multi-ethnic dynamics/tensions. At times it does feel like it's juggling with too many themes.

It took me half the runtime to get into it, it's a very slow start with no hook. The performances are all good, filmed nicely, overlong, love the snowy setting and the little village location. The town hall debate scene was the best moment in the movie, pretty intense and impressive sinse it was done in one long take (±20 minutes). The scene right after the debate made me shed a tear, nicely done.

Overall this had it's moments but the themes and story don't really come together as it should in the end and it feels messy and unsatisfying on so many levels.
