Grief is a peculiar emotion, and it hits people most bizarrely. People around us deal with grief in their own ways, and there needs to be no judgment passed based on how people deal with pain, which usually follows the loss of a loved one. Afterlife on Netflix is one of the few shows on Ott spaces that discusses how people deal with a personal tragedy. A Part of You, a Swedish Netflix original directed by Sigge Eklund, is about a young girl dealing with personal tragedy. This Netflix original is set to release on May 30th on the streaming platform.

Netflix’s latest addition to its Swedish drama roster, “A Part of You,” stars Felicia Truedsson and Edvin Ryding. Directed by Sigge Eklund and written by Michaela Hamilton, this film dives deep into the emotional turmoil of its characters while maintaining a stark sense of realism.
An Honest Look at Teen Drama
“A Part of You” presents itself as a straightforward drama without any pretensions. It adheres to the realistic aesthetic familiar to recent Swedish productions on Netflix, focusing on authentic character portrayals and dramatic themes. The film takes its characters’ struggles seriously, delivering a grounded and believable narrative.
However, this commitment to realism comes at a cost. Stylistically, the film resembles a made-for-television movie, and thematically, it leans towards moralistic storytelling. It suggests that straying from societal and parental expectations inevitably leads to trouble—a premise the film neither deeply examines nor robustly challenges. Despite this, Felicia Truedsson delivers a compelling performance,...

Grief is personal and often indescribable, especially one that involves a permanent loss. Everyone around you assures you that you will eventually learn to cope with it, but no one has a guidebook to help you through the process. A Part of You (En Del Av Dig) is an ode to grief, to an unfathomable loss, and it revolves around how those who are subjected to it try and cope in ways that are beyond the understanding of others. Directed by Sigge Eklund and starring Felicia Maxime and Edvin Ryding, A Part of You gets the turmoil and the confusion around grief just right.
