Amazingly awful
Krikkit9 February 2011
It started off OK...the first few minutes. But this train wreck of a movie soon spiraled out of control. Or into a ditch. Or wherever. The director must have been sleeping the entire time during filming - massive overacting by basically everyone, but most of all the two lead actresses. Top tip: there are other emotions in the human range than ON (dialled to 11) or lethargic. It's a young cast that has to carry this crap-fest on their (too) narrow acting shoulders, which of course puts an even tougher burden on the established actors...who also completely fails to deliver. And the script...if it was an airplane, it would be made out of cement and lead...and fly about as well. It is clear that the dialog is written by adult writers who has tried to write "youthful" dialog...which is then delivered by young actors trying their best to perform the script in a "mature" fashion. On top of everything, the movie is, at 2h11min WAY too long. An absolute BOMB!

Horrendous.

This movie left me utterly disappointed and frustrated. From the promising beginning to the disastrous end, it was a rollercoaster of letdowns. The initial scenes offered a glimmer of hope, but that flicker of excitement was quickly extinguished as the plot spiraled into a mind-numbing clown fest.

The characters, who initially held some potential, became mere caricatures of themselves. It felt as if the writers gave up halfway through, leaving the audience with a disjointed and chaotic narrative. The lack of character development left me indifferent to their fates, and by the end, I couldn't have cared less about their supposed struggles.

The film's attempts at humor were cringe-worthy at best, with poorly timed jokes that fell flat. Instead of enhancing the storyline, the comedic elements only contributed to the overall sense of confusion and disappointment. It was evident that the filmmakers were striving for a unique blend of genres, but the execution missed the mark entirely.

The cinematography, though initially promising, suffered as the film progressed. What started as visually appealing scenes deteriorated into a mishmash of poorly choreographed sequences. It felt as if the cinematographer lost their vision midway, resulting in a lack of coherence in the visual storytelling.

The soundtrack, usually a saving grace for many films, failed to salvage this sinking ship. Instead of complementing the narrative, the music seemed out of place, adding another layer of discord to an already chaotic experience. It was a missed opportunity to enhance the emotional impact of key moments within the movie.

As the credits rolled, I found myself questioning the purpose of this film. It neither entertained nor provoked thought; instead, it left me with a sense of regret for the time and money invested. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this movie to anyone.

In conclusion, this film is a prime example of wasted potential. With a more focused and coherent script, better character development, and a refined approach to humor, it could have been something memorable. Unfortunately, it falls into the category of forgettable films that leave you wondering what went wrong. Save yourself the disappointment and choose a more rewarding cinematic experience.

I loved it
Alvae2410 September 2011
I loved the movie. Yes, the acting wasn't perhaps always that great, the beginning you saw it mostly. But later I really think it was good, not the best I've seen but absolutely not the worst either! Some scenes were so strong and beautiful that it simply broke your heart. And that is the only little bad thing about the movie. I think it showed how horrible it is to lose a part of yourself and how hard it is to keep living without that person. It was heartbreaking and I cried on several occasions. It is such an amazing story and I do think everyone should see it. Only those who have a heart of stone could not think this film heartbreaking and sad. But it's also about hope and seeing that you can survive even though it might be different, and maybe not in a good way. But the movie is about survival and I loved it.

A very good movie
martintech5 August 2011
I liked the movie because of the story, and it was well played by the actors.

The story was well done, based on a true story.

The music score was good too, I will look for the soundtrack of this movie.

I can recommend this film to people who likes drama, and thinking of people who have lost someone close.

You could feel the intensity between people in many scenes, they played very naturally.

Erika and Hanna Midfjäll were two good actors, I hope to see more of in the future.

The director did a good job to make the tension between the actors.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is one of the best I have seen in the case of Swedish movies. You fall into the movie right away and you will soon become aware of that it is not so easy to be twins all times.

The film is in many ways radical, it will make you both angry, happy, and sad at the same time. However, I understand that many may think that the long, and that nothing happens but I think you have to see it for what it is. An art form. Art in the sense that none of actors are already known, at least not for me. and that the film is unique. What I love most is the spirit of the film, that While persons disappears, dies or otherwise is gone, there they are always with us in everything we do. I think that's what makes it This film is so powerful and influential.

I will give it 9/10 just because its a Swedish movie that gives you something to think about.
