Viktor vs. The World is a heartwarming comedy about Viktor (30), who has never been anywhere. When his mother dies, he finds out that his father, Charlie, is still alive. Viktor has grown up believing that Charlie is a famous jazz musician, but in reality he works at an insurance company, and Viktor gets a job there to get closer to him. Here he meets Josefine, an incredibly unfortunate middle manager whose life has been one long accident. When the future of the company suddenly starts to revolve around Viktor, he has to make a choice. Should he continue to please his father, or be honest with himself? Viktor vs. The World is a rare well-made comedy, which impresses with its good timing and great acting performances. (The Norwegian International Film Festival)

A simple film with a simple premise depicts Victor, a man scarred by his mother's overprotective attitude. Stylized characters and bizarre situations are abundant in the film, so the fun, or at least the attention-grabbing, is taken care of. The film relies on certainties like work environment, love and family, making it an average film, but one that can also be very funny. There's no glory to be had, but the film is just right for an evening with a wine. [TNIFFH 2023]
