Thicker Than Water (2005)
Sweet family drama
A career woman finds her roots in the country while finding out about her fathers hidden life.
This is a nice movie about family matters. Nothing upsetting, just your familiar Hallmark kind of TV movie.
Quite a nice movie for a relaxed evening in front of the TV. Don't expect to be totally captured though.
It is also nice to see the pictures from the country-side, and the movie makes a good advertisement for country life, to inspire us hard-working town dwellers.
A romantic touch finishes off the movie well.
Melissa Gilbert is an excellent choice for this kind of movies.
Just sweet.
Tjenare kungen (2005)
Charming
It is 1984 and Abra is 19 years old and tired of the small village she lives in. However, events take her to the big town Gothenburg and adventures.
The movie is charming and the characters sympathetic. For us who where teenagers in the mid 80's the movie is a journey back in time. All the groupings are there; punk-rockers, synthers, hard-rockers... and the soundtrack contains lots of representative music.
The actors are all new faces in Swedish film and make a terrific job. Malmros has as always succeeded well with direction and camera. This is a true feel-good movie.
Trivia: At the premiere in Gothenburg, the director Ulf Malmros was knocked down by a man who thought he had stood model for the nasty barman in the movie.
