Another Swedish movie about people in the North, regarded as monkeys in a zoo. This kind of "exoticism" is very cheap indeed. You are laughing about the drinking habits, disgusted about the children being beat up, laughing about the 60s, disgusted about small town prejudice and so on. It's too easy.
If you grew up in this days, you don't recognize the era. This is of course about another far away part of Sweden, but the mood of the film is too different from how it was. It's under-acted and over-acted and the guys who are performing the two young boys are only average in talent.
You can see this or avoid it. I would recommend the later alternative.
