peter_j_l19 February 2011HIGHLY UNDERRATED - 5.2/10 IS A JOKE!!
Wonderful comedy (and romance) about a young Swedish guy doing his military service in the north of Sweden while drifting apart from his girlfriend back home in Stockholm! He stumbles in to a girl that later helps him getting back to Stockholm so he can solve some issues/problems with his girlfriend - and of course an attraction between the two is unavoidable..
The characters develops an amazing chemistry and they all goes to the to heart of the viewers - overall the characters feels very genuine and original and the movie heartwarming! I'll give it a 10/10 cause of the pure entertainment you get out from it! -
martinpersson9727 September 2023This incredible drama, by the ever so great Ulf Malmros, is definitely a standout and one of the better features of the year for sure.
Malmros' usual blend of high drama and comedy is conveyed beautifully, and the actors all do an incredible job at building the characters and the great script.
The cinematography, cutting and editing is splendid, as one would expect from such a great director, and it very much holds true to Malmros' style.
Overall, a very funny, emotional and well crafted and written rollercoaster, that is highly recommended for any lover of film, and fans of Ulf Malmros' other works.
