Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

kmray-76797 This movie is about a man living alone. I felt he is so terrible person. He want to stay with someone, but he can't. A woman calls on him. And he asked her to stay his house anyway. She refused, but he got angry. He had asked that to others before but it failed. Many his acquaintances didn't care for him. Therefore he was more frustrated. He looked nice person because he paid attention to guests well. He appeared to be a kind gentleman. But his frustration led him to do a terrible thing. The woman didn't do anything bad. However her future was ruined by him. I think it is so cruel. He even didn't regret about it. Eventually he seemed to be happier though he did a brutal act. Though there is many people who looks peaceful for us, some people have dark sides. Even if we intend no harm, we can infuriate someone. In our life, we have many opportunities to visit someone's house. But when we go to the house of someone who we don't know so much alone, we specially should pay attention for both himself and ourselves, and should tell the visit to people close to us.

skeletorvsbeastman Textbook study for characterisation. Although some people have commented on the ending being somehow unrealistic, it is perfectly within the parameters of the character established in the first scene. It is in fact this surprising, but consequential character development which makes the film brilliant. While it may be depressing, it tells the harsh reality of life for many people and just how far our failings in the supposed 'idealistic' life that is laid before us can push the human Psyche. The film is superbly acted, and the shot composition from Moodysson serves each scene brilliantly, especially in establishing each scene - not overly pretentious as you may expect from the material, but he lets the substance of the material speak for itself. Nice short, especially for film study.

stephencheevers you must look at this short in the context of its director/writers Lukas Moodysson's career, without it he wouldn't have got to make F**king Amal.Actually this short and storyline was actually apart of the first few drafts of the F**king Amal script, the film would have been a slasher flick instead of the touching love story, based around Elin and Jessica finding out that their next door neighbor is a killer, and basically Agnes would have been a sub plot instead of a main character. I for one would like to see that version of the script. the performance of the old lonely man is top notch although the end is a bit over the top, just like a lot of Moodysson's career.

bob the moo Birger works at Volvo and tries to talk to people as he gets the bus to work. However he doesn't work at Volvo anymore as he has retired but has nothing to do but hang around. His loneliness is very hard for him and he is grateful when a knock on the door brings a girl preaching about Hare Krishna to his home. He invites her in but his desire for even a conversation is intimidating to her.The title of this film in English is 'Talk' and it sums up the content pretty well even if the film goes further than it should have done. In essence the film is quite moving and very real as we see Birger struggling to find anyone who will spend time with him. At my job we have a similar guy who retired years ago but continues to hang around even though many just feel sorry for him – this film has a similar guy in the lead. He tries to talk on the bus and, even in the early scene before we know much about him, he seems lonely and desperate. The film extends this idea well but, in the last few minutes it goes somewhere that I didn't expect and didn't fit with the tangible reality that I felt it had built up till that point.This is a complaint but it is not one that takes away what it had done in the 10 minutes or so up till this point. The character of Birger is well written but succeeds because of very good delivery from Ljunggren. His natural and pained performance is spot on and he is the cornerstone of the film. Frode is annoying and the film doesn't treat her very well but it's easy not to really notice her part in the end of the film as Ljunggren is pretty dominant.Overall this is a great little film that blows it a bit at the end by losing touch with the reality that it had set up so well – but this is not enough to make this a bad short film, just a lesser one than it should have been. But the material, the direction and Birger makes it well worth seeing.
