User Reviews

Best Swedish movie ever seen

I don't understand people who say this is a BAD movie. It was great! Maybe the movie was a little surreal, but that's the point. You should not watch this movie if you are going to take everything to freaking serious. The acting, the directing and the filming was really good, it wasn't Oscar-good but it was GOOD. I like it because it is a well done, original movie who did make me both cry and laugh. Its a movie filled with warmth. So whoever says this is a bad movie, haven't seen a bad movie.

I may be Swedish, but believe me, I don't like this movie because it is Swedish (normally I hate Swedish movies..). But again, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE if you are one of them who thinks everything in movies should be 100% realistic, and do NOT watch if you are a right-wing nationalist who thinks everything in this film is political.
