Fabulous Danish Reviews for LOVE ADDICT!

***** (5 stars) EKKO Magazine says "in this ambitious film - changing visual and emotional tone depending on the stories we hear - a strong identification is created that makes us reflect on what this addiction can lead to and if you yourself have loved too much - or too little."

**** (4 stars) POLITIKEN: "The film does not only leave a strong impression but also asks the tricky question of the careless way we in the public room use love as a total facade-discipline."

**** (4 stars) BERLINGSKE TIDENDE: "With LOVE ADDICT Pernille Rose Grønkjær brings an overlooked disorder in focus and what makes it more interesting is that the participants reflects insighfully well on their actions".

INFORMATION says "You laugh and cry through these stories of this human condition and from time to time you recognize more of yourself than you would actually like to."

If there was one thing I wanted to avoid it was being presented as a "junkie" or some reality TV nightmare– hard lighting, stark camera angles, disproportionate, ugly presentation, compromising bodily or facial expressions- face down in the gutter type stuff.
That wasn't me.
