Norwegian film about a Pakistani-Norwegian teenage girl who acted too Norwegian for her family, so they shipped her to the old country. (I feel like this is a sub-genre made for me: the Muslim immigrant in Northern Europe story, featuring a fierce young woman.) It telegraphed most of its punches, put they still landed. So much great acting happening in the spaces between the lines, with the father doing some very heavy lifting. I feel wrecked after watching it.
