I liked the premise and was intrigued to find out how it all unfolded, and it kept me hooked but was ultimately disappointing.
The main reason being I couldn't like or identify with any of the characters. Maja was self-absorbed and too easily influenced by Sebastian, who was portrayed as pretty much a sociopath. Maja forgives him his awful behaviour pretty early on in their relationship so it didn't really come across as domestic abuse. None of the friends have many redeeming qualities except maybe Samir but even he's a little pathetic. And really, wouldn't her parents have a bit more backbone? Totally vacuous characters.
I also found it difficult to know what Maja did and didnt remember. The screenplay kept this vague throughout. But even though she apparently can't remember much, its no secret from the outset that Sebastian was responsible for shooting some people dead. Yet somehow she's not visibly traumatised by any of it and doesn't seem to have changed her opinion of him?
Overall it was okay and the acting was really good, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if there's something else to watch.
