The Last Journey

This movie is gutwrenching, beautiful, tragic, hopeful, pessimistic, optimistic and funny at times.

This is in my eyes one of the best swedish films i've seen in a good while and by far the most beautiful i can think of.

This movie made me speechless for almost an hour after seeing it, it singlehandedly made me rethink how i see documentaries. It made me fear getting older and the concept of aging in an important matter.

The overall beauty of this film is not just because of the lovely characters and heartwarming nostalgia but also the incredible camerawork, colorgrading and music the film uses.

I think most people should watch this film just to experience the struggle of aging and losing spark.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, and the first time that I have given a top rating to a movie.

Even the day after watching it, it made me shed tears just thinking about some parts of it. There is something very genuine and good about Lars. He is a person with a pure heart, and you can clearly see it in this movie. It's hard to see a person like Lars come to age even for a stranger, so seeing Filip's frustration about the situation makes me understand him a lot, and feel empathy for both of them.

I have been a fan of Filip and Fredrik for a long time and always appreciated their work, but still I didn't expect this at all. This one is a masterpiece.

A grip of the last moment and journey of one mans life.

Swedens contribution and nomination to the academy awards 2025, so i felt i had to watch this. Aswell of the high rating and heard this was going to be really good.

I know the team of Filip and Fredrik is very famous for many years and often their programs is on tv, but they have never made me interested to watch their shows that much, only sometimes. But this was something completely new and something special. And its abit special aswell as its a documentary.

The plot sounded really beautiful and good so i was very intrigued and really longed for to finally see it.

Its very well put togheter, filmed and edited!

First of all, it has a very beautiful storytelling and the soundtrack is also amazing!

A very moving, beautiful, close, heartwarming, feel-good, powerful, meaningful, special, intimate and unique documentary at a driving pace.

Beautiful, but hard to watch at the same time all time from the start until the very end.

Its a very thought provoking documentary! Well worth watching! I really enjoyed it and i really recommend it to everyone!

It's an absolute masterpiece. What a gem of a movie. Tears, laughter, bitterness, kindness and everything between. Made me look at aging and retirement from many new angles. What a journey. It's also very well put together, the flow of the movie is just spot on, the cutting room really outdid themselves this time. It's for sure the best Swedish movie ever made and, for me, it was the best movie of all time. My guess is it will just blow the competition away at next year's Oscars, since it's Swedish. I guess it can "only" win the category for best foreign movie. Might be wrong here tho? Anyway, it's a must-see.

As real life reality documentaries go, this is a real gem.

Filips father Lars, who is elderly and depressed, is treated to a 'last trip' to his beloved France by his son.

Using recordings from the past, super-8 films mixed with reality-style captures we are taken on an emotional father-son journey on multiple levels.

You have the actual trip but also the emotional journey taken by Filip and his father. We can se the love between a father and a son, and we can see how the son becomes the father, as the father becomes the son.

Lars slowly awakens and for the first time in many years, starts to live again.

This is a heart warming and beautiful story that is rare and it reminds us what family is, or can be.
