TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

jag_avgudar_barca Mikael Persbrandt is one of my favorit actors in Sweden. But he is a total blackout in this one. Everyone was awful, not to mansion that the camera stays in the vehicle for the entire movie.I hated it, sure, many people who want's to think over they're lifes can see this but in my eyes this movie is cr?p.Then why I rate the movie if I hate it? The answer is simple: I wan't to warn evrybody out there! Don't watch it...The only person I like in this movie is the soccer coach. He is making a good performance in a movie that is totally... yeah I've said that it's bad a couple of times now...Don't watch it. PLEASE!!!

cooling_boy1 I think this film is one of the best i ever seen. When you have seen it for the first time you have a lot of things to think about because the film really mention important things and facts about life. The film doesn't become boring when it is made in a car and that the main character is driving through the whole film. And that's because the plot is interesting and that the actors are very good. I like this film for two reasons: That the actors are really good and that the plot is very important and interesting. Mikael Persbrandt does one of his very best appearances in this film and he is really outstanding. It's very much worth seeing because if him. So i can really recommend you to go and see this film if you haven't done it yet. You won't become disappointed. So do your a favor. See it today!

Keith F. Hatcher It is a well-known fact that the better one lives, the higher one's living standards, the more suicides there are. Such that in extremely poor countries, suicide does not exist; instead these impoverished people die in civil wars and wide-spread famine. So it is with no surprise that this film in question is Swedish, dealing as it does in such a delicate theme as suicide. Thomas sets out to visit and say good-bye to those around him - his mother, his wife, her lover, his young son, his sister, his lover........only to find his problems - never very clearly defined - are no worse than theirs.Cleverly filmed, more than 80% of the film is made while he is driving his car, day and night, around Stockholm and its hinterland, the main characteristic of the film is the splendid characteriological interpretations of the actors and the impact of this rather dramatical denouncement: the message is clear. Where in the supposedly civilised and advanced world we crowd our lives with such benefits as a 'beautiful car', high spending-power, advanced technology, and so on, we are losing something which is far more important: the ability to communicate with those around us, the capacity to feel mutual sentiments, empathy with those persons who participate in our daily lives. All this has gone, ironically, with the arrival of so many different electronic means of contacting people all over the place. The world has gone mad: we cannot communicate with our loved ones, the people dearest to us. We communicate with a phone, a mobile (cellular), TV, radio, satellites, electronic mail and all the advantages of Internet, and other ingenious inventions, but face to face or side by side, those deepest human feelings like saying 'I love you', seem to have become outdated. This is the case with Thomas; evidently he has lost contact with his mother, his wife, his sister, and even his lover is obviously disconnected from the ravages that Thomas is suffering. The end is horrendously predictable - and orchestrated - with terrifying thunder to aid and abett the outcome, such that there is no surprise. However, it is in the way the film is enacted and carried out that it scores - and scares. Those long hours mostly filmed at the steering-wheel express Thomas' dilemma, however incomprehensible it may be, which forces him into deciding whether to be or not to be.

stensson This is a different road movie. The main character has decided to kill himself in the evening and spends his last day driving around to say good-bye to everybody, including his mistress, his son, the son's soccer coach, his mother and so on. Nobody knows that this good-bye is definite.This is about a person crying for help and nobody hears it. The reason for that is that almost everyone the main character meets, has problem like his or even much worse. Nobody has any solution. It is about people trying to reach out, but not being even close to touch anyone.This is in most cases very well played, especially by Michael Nyquist and Pernilla August. The episodes do however not have the same quality entirely. Some of the episodes could even have been left out. The script really needs good actors, because if you just read it, you would find it rather uncomplicated, although it deals with complicated people.
