Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

starvinmarvin-3 While this movie is trying to be as funny in a grotesque way as "In China they eat dogs" and to express the desperation of "Noi Albinoi" at the same time, it fails to do so in both. I haven't read the book yet, but if the movie is as close to the book as the reviewers say, it's not worth the while either:Shallow characters, loose story, no real message, no scenery, no cool soundtrack(opposed to what you might expect from the title,),as hard as i try, i just can't find any reason to recommend this movie. It will always remain a miracle to me, how some movies manage to get a "hype up" for nothing. If u want to see a good movie from "up there", try one of the two mentioned above instead and save the money.

tomimt As a movie this was pretty much the same as the book: good, but not instant classic. Though I am sure there are lots of people who will disagree with me on the book part.For technical point of view there is nothing wrong with the flick: acting is good, directing is good, the whole packet works. It even has some pretty funny scenes in it.My main problem was with the plot itself: this was hardly anything new under the sun. Just another nostalgic driven view of someones childhood and coming of age.I could have given better score, but my personal favourite scene was left out. I know it wouldn't have much, actually any general plot influence, but I just would have wanted to see it in.Nothing more to say, see it if you like the genre.

Enchorde ** HERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS **Matti reminisces about his youth with best friend Niila. In the village of Pajala in the far north of Sweden they grew up and experienced their personal adventures. Now, to me this movie is a long biopic of Matti's youth, full of stereotypes (how accurate they may be, I have no way to tell), with some funny episodes now and then. It may be more funny or interesting for someone who actually grew up there and then (or in some similar place), but for me, not having done that, it just wasn't. The general plot and story was very loosely connected and some scenes or subplots actually seemed unnecessary, not contributing in any other way than extending the movie a few minutes. However, good performances from the actors and in some sense an interesting view. However, for entertainment... not that good.5/10

stensson Another Swedish movie about people in the North, regarded as monkeys in a zoo. This kind of "exoticism" is very cheap indeed. You are laughing about the drinking habits, disgusted about the children being beat up, laughing about the 60s, disgusted about small town prejudice and so on. It's too easy.If you grew up in this days, you don't recognize the era. This is of course about another far away part of Sweden, but the mood of the film is too different from how it was. It's under-acted and over-acted and the guys who are performing the two young boys are only average in talent.You can see this or avoid it. I would recommend the later alternative.
