Ondskan is an adorable flick, probably the best movie ever made! Ok, this may be a bit too personal, because the story applies to my personal real life, and I could almost place myself in the shoes of the main character. Nevertheless, the directing, the soundtrack, the acting, absolutely fabulous! You don't have to be a rebel nor do you have to have experienced similar things in order to enjoy this movie. It's just better if you have.
The pure love between the guy and the Finnish waitress, the jerk stepdad, the mom who's making herself helpless, the good-willed trainer, the horrible "big boys".. All perfectly pictured. I'm really out of words to describe how much I loved this movie! It's so captivating that, with every scene, I found myself saying "Come on Erik, give the lamers a lesson!"
What's sad about all this is that, these things are still experienced by several people all over the world. Probably even in Sweden, at least the revolting step-father figure.
The bottom line is, Ondskan is one of the best deeds of the contemporary Swedish Cinema, and it's a must-see for anyone who's into profound depiction of possible real life events rather than superficial Hollywood rubbish.
A well-deserved 10/10 for Ondskan!
