Very romantic. Pretty much a perfect film or ultimate fairy tale to me personally. As a child I always fancied having a creature all feared by many as my friend, be it a lion for example, here we got a vampire. Oscar is brilliant, and so is Ela. The director really did find the perfect kids for the part, and 1980s snowy cold and frosty Sweden makes the perfect backdrop. One could say that this film dwells a lot on bullying. I can't help recalling that kid playing Floyd as a child in Alan Parker's The Wall in those scenes were he fancies the children taking over the school. I love a film like this where we are not even sure if Ela even truly exists. Is it all the kid's fantasy? I ask that since we are witnessing a world were the adults don't seem to be paying enough attention. The final swimming pool scene left me truly awestruck.
