This movie is new low for Swedish cinema. What aims to be a artistic and odd take on two siblings' dysfunctional relationship and the aftermath of the death of the husband of one of the pregnant sister, instead results in an utterly flawed and lifeless attempt as a drama comedy of sorts.
The intention to make a surreal dramedy while dealing with a subject matter takes far more talent - and most of all... a script with a narrative.
This movie stands absolutely till from the first scene, never moving forward in any manner whatsoever. There is zero plot.
The characters have been directed to act without any emotional truth, resulting in a catastrophic viewing experience. Bored is not a strong enough word. It's the greatest sin of all to bore the viewer. These filmmakers have at least excelled in that department.
How a streaming company could have agreed on this script is a complete mystery. The only good thing with a streaming distribution in this case is that it eliminates the fiasco of theatrical release.
