I watched this out of curiosity and found it charming and it's use of integrating song into the action way ahead of its time as it seems so natural and unforced. Often the players are accompanied by themselves of a folk band seen on screen. It paints a glowing, warm, happy life amongst working class neighbors in 1930s Stockholm. The cinematography is beautiful and the performances natural and engaging. It is a gentle low key piece so don't expect belly laughs, just let it's gentle charm wash over you if you need a pleasant viewing one afternoon and a bit of a cheer up. If this is the case and you don't mind subtitles you'll love it.
