Plot

The film tells the story of a nine-year-old boy named Fredrik that lives with his father after his mother has left. The father and son stick together through thick and thin, but problems arise when Fredrik's father meets Tove. Much of the film is seen from the child's perspective. The film depicts how Fredrik, nicknamed Sølvmunn 'Silvermouth', experiences his own world and the world of adults.[4]

Reception

Sølvmunn received a mixed reception from Arbeiderbladet's reviewer Bjørn Granum when it was released. Among other things, he wrote that "We can look forward to another well-executed child portrayal in Norwegian film, after Løperjenten, Liten Ida, and Zeppelin." But he also wrote that "The first three-quarters of the film are pure nonsense, poorly written and played, and indifferently directed. The film does not take off until the conflict between the child and the adults escalates in earnest. Dagbladet's Thor Ellingsen was more positive in his review, and wrote, among other things, that "Sølvmunn is a professional and polished work—without being slick."[5]
