Sinopses(1)
A film about the life of Johan Grande, a loner who has an unusually great passion for explosives. He is never completely taken into the heat of the local environment. Titran in Trøndelag becomes almost like a separate character in the film. We follow his struggle for belonging in the village and the lifelong, unrequited love for the girl next door, which he accidentally broke a little in his youth. Everybody Hates Johan shows a brilliant chemistry between Pål Sverre Hagen and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, and follows them over many years. It is Trøndelag humor at its best in a film with odd characters and a beautiful story. (The Norwegian International Film Festival)

Johan can be quite enjoyable to watch, thanks to being set in the photogenic, secluded Norwegian coastal village of Titram (by the way, a real place where the film was actually shot), but once you realize what the film is aiming for (a time-lapse fresco featuring a quirky oddball a la Forrest Gump or the Swedish One Hundred Year Old Man), you'll see how wildly the film fails. In the pursuit of achieving the right quirky hero, through whom we are told that everyone else is actually odd, it just can't depict characters beyond one-dimensional human gimmicks. It randomly revisits various motifs (like explosives), so it can't build any meaningful relationships with anything or anyone here. It all feels like a poorly adapted book, as most elements in the film are just oddly touched upon and not properly developed. I suspect the film was originally supposed to be a much more harsh spectacle, which someone eventually trimmed down into a gentler, family-friendly film.
