Stöld (2024)
A film mostly about reindeer
I'm not a big fan of Birro, who is behind the story. But I still wanted to give it a chance.
The film is incredibly slow. It mainly deals with the Sami people and their reindeer husbandry. The actors, apart from Martin Wallström, are relatively unknown and mostly consist of Samer.
The story is recognizable from what you have heared in the media about Samer. They take care of their reindeer and have it hard to live financially on it. Their beloved reindeer are being thief hunted.
Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a documentary about reindeer husbandry. The few moments of tension that do occur make up such a small part of the 2 hour film that it is negligible to the story. It also feels unrealistic in many ways. As an action film it doesn't work, as a thriller it doesn't work. However, if you want to see a drama about Sami people and reindeer husbandry, this is the film for you.
Ett sista race (2023)
Like the movie Göta kanal but on wheels
David Hellenius is behind the script and plays the main role himself together with all kinds of established actors. Unfortunately, it won't be particularly fun or exciting either. Anyone who has seen the films about Göta Kanal will recognize the humor, predictable jokes lined up together with funny characters.
However, there are well-made drone scenes of cars racing along the roads, nice crashes and well-made stunt scenes.
If you want to kill time and turn off your brain, it fits well, but if you want to challenge your intellect, you should definitely not watch this one. The film is definitely aimed at the younger audience.
Paradiset brinner (2023)
Outstanding performance BUT failing story
I really wanted to like this movie. Beautifully filmed, superb editing and an outstanding performance by the debuting actors. The dilemma is the story. I don't know if this movie is meant to take place in some parallel invented society. If not, I have a very hard time understanding the story. It is unlikely that three girls could live alone, not go to school and use alcohol without the outside world reacting. There are stray dogs, which hardly exists in Sweden. Smoking in bars that has been banned for 20 years. The film raises many questions that are never answered. Where is the mother who abandoned her children? What happened when social services came to visit? How did the relationship between Laura and Hanna go? It's sad that such a well-made film has such a bad story.
Isolering (2023)
Worst movie ever, spend the time on something else
The film begins with two friends meeting in a house outside of town to hang out, one of the friends has arranged a surprise in the form of two prostitutes who is about to show up in half an hour, whereupon one of the friends decides to go home. At the bus stop he meets a young girl who has been beaten by her boyfriend and persuades her to come with him for treatment at his place.
The acting feels very amateurish and the lines sound unatural and as if they were read directly from a script. The scenes are unnecessarily drawn out and the film is strongly reminiscent of those types of amateur short films that can be found on youtube, but in a two hour version. I have never seen any of the actors before and i wonder if they really are actors or just some random people. After half an hour into the movie im thinking of turning it off.
