4/5
First time director Pernilla August takes a powerful, universal theme - alcoholism - and lets it be the catalyst for the drama; this is unsentimental and devastating work. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Jun 24 An excellent film about a family destroyed by the alcoholism of the parents. Obviously the story is far from original and drug addiction has also analogous effects. The majesty of the storytelling is the emotional situations are presented in a very convincing manner. The acting feels real. It is also served by superb color cinematography. On Viaplay. See more 10/19/2017 A strong cast all around. Shows the effects of alcoholism on the people around the alcoholic. A common story but here it is well played by being subtly under-played. Excellent performances by Noomi Rapace (adult Leena) and Tehilla Blad (young Leena) See more 04/21/2016 First, the obligatory Ole Rapace mmmmmmmmmm. Then, the film is full of miserable finns in sweden in the 70s, unhappy, drinking, beating the wife, throwing up, fighting, traumatizing the children. And flashbacks during adulthood. This story is so well known, and yet every time equally sad. Thirdly, mmmmmmmm :) The rest of the cast is also fine, but.... See more 03/30/2016 Chi lo sapeva che c'era anche l'emigrazione finlandese verso la Svezia? Con tutti gli annessi e connessi... See more 09/13/2013 Depressing. The way the story was told was beautiful. This is also the first film of Noomi Rapace I've seen. She's a great actor! See more 09/02/2012 Takes time to dig its hooks in, but truthful writing and great performances (especially Rapace) lead to heartbreaking conclusion. See more Read all reviews
