Slim Susie Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Joseph Sylvers Sweedish comedy gold. It was funny, pretty, and fast paced. This Twin Peakeque little Sweedish, town full of oddballs; manic depressive police chiefs, amateur film makers, drug addicts, giants, etc, yields up a murder and conspiracy. Well worn territory, but never worn so well as here. Perspectives and chronology jump around as with Ritche and Tarantino, who are being subtly parodied, however this is, as much if not more, of a film about the contradictory impulses involved in "going home" than it is, a tour through small town's underbelly. The soundtrack is mostly bouncing indie pop, which helps keep interest during the camera's many first person drives through the city. I haven't been as pleasantly surprised by a comedy like this in a long time. Anyone interested in a fun, whimsical, and inventive good time, see here.
Brevity In the cinema world, there aren't many more irritating things than a film pretending to be bursting with energy. Why am I saying this here, you ask. Well, I answer, halfway through one (read: me) grows a bit numb of all this trickery. And before you draw any faulty conclusions: I like this film.On the bright side, the look is a breath of fresh air for a Nordic film. Kjell Bergqvist is good, and expectedly so, I gather from his history. The humour works often, the deadpan parts especially. ("The ending of Pulp..." Clever in an incidental way, and in an intentional one too, I presume. Funny in any case.)But there are the flashback-often-within-flashback structure, characters that are, like, so cuhrayzeee (including the "film buff" of whom I shan't say a word though was going to), the would-be edgy restlessness and in-your-face movie references that are bound to annoy some and be of excellence to some. It almost ceases to interest "one" during the final half, or, in other words already said, me grows a bit numb of it.Those who think "Chain of Fools" is brilliant (and golly, there are those) will probably find this very appealing. Nevertheless (notice the tone), this works quite sufficiently, and any non-realistic Nordic film is of course always welcome. And just to clarify things: I like this.
jacobsteel I don't know where to start. Acting? Dialogue? Characters? Great dead-pan acting. Excellent fast-and-funny-as-hell dialogue. Superb misfit-crazy-characters. This film's got it all. That it's spoken in the Swedish accent of Värmländska just makes a great film even better. In fact, don't waste your time reading this. Go down to your local rental and get it. Pronto! Hint: you might like this movie a lot better if you're something of a movie buff. Tons of reference humor. The good sort. ;-)
Josefin Personally, I'm not very fond of Swedish movies because of the bad acting and stiff dialogue, but Smala Sussie really did it. It was witty, original (but still had some similarities to the Swedish movie kopps), and very well made.It's pure Swedish entertainment in a small farmervillage, where Sussie has disappeared. Her brother, who lives in Stockholm, hitchhikes to Värmland, where she lives to find his sister. during this "hunt", he finds out a lot of weird things about his childhood friends and that "Smala(Slim) Sussie" isn't the innocent obedient "miss motor-girl" she used to be.I think the whole film is pure entertainment with a bit of Swedish maffia and reality action. All of the movie characters are very well played, and I am really satisfied with the dialogues.I really recommend it.Görbra!!"Pölsa has no fear, cause he's got a lot of beer"
