It's hard to criticize somebody's good intentions. But in this case I'll make an exception. This film is not very good. When you receive some of the highest awards from the Swedish film academy, you expect something spectacular. You don't find it in this film. Written, produced and directed by women, this film is meant to express an honest depiction from a female perspective. You don't find that either. Instead we get a very naive and dated (i.e. unoriginal) story that tells us that men are pigs that abuse and exploit women. Really, I didn't know that...
The worst part is the extremely unoriginal screenplay that includes such Swedish classics such as: suicide, alcoholism, prostitution, depression, working class misery, nudity and melancholia.
If this was the BEST screenplay that year, I'd love to see the worst ones.
The writer's intentions might be sincere but far from original and very, very naive.
Perhaps this was meant to be a children's movie?
Or maybe it was all just a dream.
I don't want to rant, but could somebody please show these creatives some good political female oriented movies? Norma Rae, Network, The Piano....
Or perhaps the writer's intention is to say that a young woman, who feels upset after having had an affair with a married man, and being left by him, and unjustly terminated (from her trial employment), has the right to KILL that man (pig, oppressor) - and get away with it.
Perhaps this movie is genius after all.
Or maybe not.
