    Moodysson goes American
    You expected him to compromise. You demanded of him not to. This goes in between.

    Mammoth tells the story of the wealthy New York couple who keeps a nanny from the Phillipines for their daughter. The nanny's sons are on the other side of the world. There are certainly no equal living conditions here and the film attacks globalization.

    But it does so in a rather quiet way. Moodysson has said that he's too old to judge people anymore. And that's a pity, because it makes this film rather toothless. You can't have your criticism taken seriously if everybody more or less are victims.

    The acting is all right here, but still this is a very Americanized movie. Moodysson has had resources, OK, but he has lacked the artistic possibilities, working within this system.
