Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
essankay A young priest from an affluent background with frustrations and doubts about about his faith requests a transfer to a failing church in one of the dreary suburbs of Gothenburg, Sweden (NOT Stockholm as the fellow from Stockholm that wrote another review on here stated).While going door to door in his new, disinterested parish he comes across a young lady in a wheelchair. The two share an attraction, but he has trepidations about dating someone on welfare and in a wheelchair.This is an interesting dramedy with some fine performances. It dares to tackle some subjects that are largely taboo in most cinema. The characters and most of the dialog rings true. On the whole, an interesting Swedish film.
wbbybn I enjoyed this movie. The opening minutes were especially good, I thought, and they really grabbed my interest with their humour and unexpectedness (although I had no idea what the movie was about before I saw it anyway). I don't know that I felt much empathy with any of the characters, but they were interesting, the story was watchable if not overly gripping and the funny parts were genuinely funny. I don't know that the deadbeat boyfriend of Carola was very believable, but there was drama, romance, sex, comedy, misunderstanding, loss and love. What more could you want from a bit of light entertainment? It wasn't brilliant, but it was good fun. Why was it called 'Miffo' though?
prenumerera This isn't really a romantic comedy to me, it is more of a drama film that is made to look like a comedy because else it would not sell as many movie tickets. The drama part of this comedy gives it a depth that other movies is this genre doesn't have.None the less this movie makes you laugh a lot. There are many scenes with toally crazy situations where i laughed my pants off.*spoilers*A movie about a handicapped girl with a alchoholic mother is more of a drama film than anything. All her friends are alchoholics and hang out in the ghetto. The girl even tries to commit suicide in one scene, this makes strong impression on me. But as this girl has a lovely personality the main male charachter can't seem to forget...*end spoilers*I can recommend this movie for everyone that likes swedish comedy and drama movies. 8/10.
d_hahne The story was pretty weak and after one hour the movie felt long and boring from time to time. I'm not gonna spoil the end but i can tell you the movie's better the longer on the timeline you've gone through. Overall a good Swedish movie but i don't think it's playing in the same league as Daniel Lind Lagerlöfs previous works.
