    Very Confusing
    I don't mind a lot of dialogue if I can follow what is going on, but there were too many character references being made at different times and relating to different aspects of the story and I found it impossible to follow at times.

    Worst of all was the age difference between those in 1984-1986 and the same characters in 2013 (present day).

    Eriksson, in particular hadn't aged a day in 26 years. Changing hair colour from blonde to brown just did not make any difference. Also, Persson looked exactly the same and if anything, Hedberg looked younger.
