Review:
Many people have recommended this movie, saying how wonderful it is. But Fredrik always never liked it, so I never really had a chance to see it. I think Fredrik then discovered that he never liked it because as a teenager he was forced to watch it in school, so that made him dislike it.

It was shown on TV the other day, and it was a very, very good movie.
Very moving, very emotional, and very well done.

It is a fun movie, and even though so emotional, it is very funny at times, too.

I definately recommend this one. I recommend it for anyone over 18 years, because I think you need that mentality to fully understand everything the movie represents.

A very beautiful movie.

Language is in Swedish, but I know this one is pretty popular so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a copy with subtitles or even dubbed.
