  I thought this would just be a nice little fairy tale, but instead I got a heartwarming and inspiring film about an ordinary woman discovering she's actually a Top.

  That sex scene will haunt me for years. I've got nothing else sorry.

  Review by matt lynch ★★★ 5

  Up until this completely sabotages itself with an unnecessary thriller subplot it's a fairly sweet and very empathetic love story tinged with magical realism and a fascinating thread about fluid bodies. There's also a huge and particularly creepy loose end that's way too weird to go unremarked upon.

  Review by BeHaind ★★★★½ 5

  Unglaublich faszinierender Mix aus nordischer Mythologie und Folklore, zeitgenössischem Setting und verquerer Love-Story. Ungeschönt anders, spielt „Border“ gekonnt mit dem Ekel vor dem Andersartigen, existenzialistischen Fragen und kleidet das Ganze dennoch in eine wunderbar zärtliche Liebesgeschichte. Brillant gespielt, toll gefilmt in starken Bildern und bedrückender Atmosphäre. Ich bin schwer verliebt in diesen Film!

  Review by LeSchroeck ★★★★ 4

  Seid gewarnt. Aber seid bitte auch offen, neugierig und so umsichtig, nicht zu viel über diesen Film vorab rauszufinden. Das, was hier gezeigt wird, braucht hier und da ein paar Szenen zu viel, ergeht sich vielleicht auch in dem einen oder anderen Waldspaziergang, aber wird schön und stimmig aufgelöst. Und es beinhaltet Momente, die ordentlich aufs Gemüt schlagen. Oder die Ihr im Leben noch nicht gesehen habt (vielleicht auch nie sehen wolltet). Ein Film über Bestimmung, Ekel, Mitgefühl und Liebe. Hat mir gefallen.

  A surprisingly tender, sensuously rich, & ultimately heart-wrenching love story about hermaphroditic trolls: please count me in!

  Review by Taylor Williams ★★★★ 3

  I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this film. It’s bizarre, grotesque, perverse, animalistic, and near flawless in execution.

  A turn in the final act wasn’t handled exactly how I would’ve wanted it, despite me realizing that it was a logical turn considering everything that was set up, but I’ve gotta let the film sink in so I can  appreciate it for what’s there (and there’s a lot to appreciate).
