A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
«Tilbake til nåtiden» («Back to the Present») is a comedy-musical show by Norwegian entertainer Jon Niklas Rønning, filmed at the main stage at Latter in Oslo, Norway, on 20 September 2024. The show centers on embracing the here and now – living in the moment rather than dwelling on an idealized past or waiting for a perfect future. In the performance, Rønning mixes sharp humour, parodies of current events and popular music, personal reflections – including from his life as a father – and a strong musical backbone.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
