This was far better then i excepted! Amazing performances by every actor! Truly phenomenal!

Regardless of what you think is right or wrong in relationships, you see in this film that different perspectives can be very variable in a relationship and that family dramas are extremely important to resolve as quickly as possible and blend in and understand each other!

This is both a funny, powerful, deep and heavy dramafilm to watch! Very intriguing and a far better drama then i thought it was gonna be!

It has some poorly made scenes and some of unrealistic aswell and the environment is pretty confusing at some moments, but all together this get pretty good and interesting.

Very well written!

Josephine Bornebusch does a amazing work in directing and acting!

A very thought provoking and moving film!

Feels very authentic!

I really recommend this!

Great acting by the cast. Great writing. Great dialogue. There are a couple of unforgettable scenes that made my day.

This film gives the viewer a realistic glimpse of what can happen inside a marriage--the challenges, the frustration, the disappointments that the couple have to contend with as they try to make the marriage work as they raise a family. The viewer easily sees himself/herself in those scenes and relate with the characters intimately in a vicarious way.

It seems primarily the story of the male lead as he grapples with the demands of being married and raising a family, and realizing he hasn't done much for the marriage and family. And the realization hits him hard.

Such a situation happens to many of us. And the male viewer develops some kind of kinship with him.

This Swedish film deserves your time and attention.

I have no idea why this was recommended to me but it feels like the universe knew I needed to see this.

The writing is so real and extremely relatable to me.

I don't want to give anything away. It's a movie that doesn't too much and hits all the right notes. But most importantly, it's just captures so much about marriage, parenthood, growing up, relationships.

A small gem. A little triumph.

Also loved finding out that the lead actress who is amazing in very subtle scene is also the writer and director. It feels like she must have pulled from very real life experiences.

Add this to your queue and make sure to watch it.

Swedish director and actress Josephine Bornebusch offers us a raw family drama that touches our deepest fibers with a conventional film, but made with all possible sincerity.

The film takes us to an intense family drama in crisis and that little by little will be rediscovered in a harsh truth that changes all the perspectives of each member of this family. The director sets out to give us a sincere drama without limiting herself in any way, destroying relationships, destroying worlds and destroying realities, all of that handled with the subtlety of a very good director who also stars in her own script, which leads us to feel with all the intensity this drama that she offers us.

It is helped by a cast that is also committed, where Pål Sverre Hagen and Sigrid Johnson stand out. Each character has something to tell and something to face their own fears and regrets with, that intensity put into each scene is what captivates us as spectators and at the same time its director is intelligent in not risking anything improper, Bornebusch touches the conventional keys of how to conquer the spectator, but she does it in an authentic way and without looking for anything easy, she does it with a correct look at an intense drama that breaks you as it reaches its final climax where you sense that everything will break definitively.

We are faced with a sad, moving and deeply heartbreaking story that hides nothing and gives you a true story that keeps coming back to you as everything happens. The moments of happiness, especially well placed thanks to intelligent humor, are part of the dose of relief from a deep drama full of sadness and everything that allows you to experience a process of emotions and tears that break the deepest heart of any viewer.

A brave film that, in its well-used conventionality, manages to hit the nail on the head as one of the pleasant and saddest dramas of 2024. Its director continues to demonstrate her directing skills, but also her good work in front of the screen, an interesting proposal that is worth giving a chance to move you and enjoy life's blows.

"Let Go" on Netflix is a beautifully understated film that resonates on multiple levels. The story captures the essence of life's unpredictable nature, illustrating how our choices shape our paths in profound ways. The film navigates through complex emotional terrain, yet does so with a simplicity that makes its message feel raw and authentic.

The acting stands out as a significant strength, with the cast delivering performances that are both grounded and deeply moving. They bring depth to their roles, allowing viewers to see the characters' vulnerabilities, triumphs, and regrets. Each actor brings a certain sincerity, creating a powerful sense of relatability.

The film's simplicity is refreshing-it refrains from elaborate plots or overly dramatic scenes. Instead, it focuses on real-life moments, showing how joy and despair often sit side-by-side in the human experience. This approach underscores a central theme: life is neither inherently good nor bad but is shaped by the choices we make. Through its portrayal of life's duality, "Let Go" reminds us that we have the power to find beauty even in hardship or to create tragedy through poor decisions. It's a movie that encourages introspection, inviting viewers to consider the influence of their own choices on their happiness and sense of fulfillment.

In short, "Let Go" is a gem that balances simplicity with depth, illustrating how our lives are ultimately defined by the decisions we make. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll, inviting viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between fate and choice.

But so much more. I prefer foreign films, so was drawn to this recommendation on NFLX. It started out as what I thought a peek into a neglected marriage, obviously because the husband was having an affair. With precision reveals, it becomes clearer what could be happening in this family's lives. So well written and executed by the writer, director and lead actress who is one and same person! Without giving away too much, this is a deep, authentic, visceral story that will stay with you long after viewing, as others have written here in the reviews. Why this isn't on everyone's radar as a MUST WATCH, is beyond me.

Let Go (2024): A Heartfelt Journey of Self-Discovery Let Go is a poignant exploration of family dynamics, grief, and the power of letting go. Directed by Josephine Bornebusch, who also stars as the lead, the film delves into the complexities of human relationships and the transformative nature of life's unexpected turns.

Bornebusch delivers a stellar performance as Stella, a woman juggling the demands of motherhood, marriage, and career. Her portrayal is both relatable and nuanced, capturing the frustrations and anxieties that many modern parents experience. The supporting cast, including Pål Sverre Hagen as her distant husband, Gustav, and Sigrid Johnson as their teenage daughter, Anna, contribute to the film's emotional depth.

One of the film's strengths lies in its ability to seamlessly blend humor and drama. The witty dialogue and lighthearted moments provide a welcome respite from the heavier themes, while the more serious scenes are handled with sensitivity and authenticity. The film's exploration of grief and loss is particularly poignant, offering a realistic and empathetic portrayal of the grieving process.

However, while Let Go is a well-crafted and emotionally resonant film, it does occasionally fall into predictable narrative territory. Some of the plot developments may feel familiar to viewers of similar dramas. Additionally, the film's pacing could be uneven, with certain scenes dragging while others rush through important character moments.

Despite these minor flaws, Let Go is a worthwhile watch for those seeking a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging cinematic experience. Its exploration of universal themes and its strong performances make it a compelling addition to the realm of contemporary drama.

If you like character driven films this is perfect for you. You see the camera close in on the husband or wife's face and you know what they're thinking. This is a truly natural film about the problems of living with someone you love(d) amidst the stresses and repetitive strains on daily life. Throw indulged and petulant children into the mix, expecting to have their many needs met whatever the cost on their parents' time or patience, then you see the perfect unravelling of a couple and watch their interaction with each other develop.

The actress playing the wife is the most incredibly talented person. She also directed and wrote the film and gives a dazzling performance. This is a beautiful film. 10/10.

In a time when technology is supposed to make our lives easier but often turns them upside down, this film masterfully conveys that the responsibilities we, as adults, must bear are not burdens or chains holding us back, but the true key to living a healthy and happy life. I congratulate the entire cast for delivering this message so skillfully in every scene, and especially Ms. Bornebush, whose Oscar-worthy performance, brilliant screenplay, and outstanding direction have resulted in a magnificent masterpiece. I'm also ashamed and saddened that this is the first time I've realized such an extraordinary talent.

This film feels like a raw, honest glimpse into the ups and downs of marriage-the struggles, the frustrations, and the moments that test you while trying to hold it all together and raise a family. It's hard not to see yourself in those scenes, feeling the emotions and connecting with the characters in such a real, personal way.

At its heart, it's really the male lead's story. You watch him come to grips with the weight of being a husband and a father, slowly realizing just how much he's let slip through the cracks. When that realization finally hits him, it's like a gut punch-you feel it as much as he does.

While this movie may portray an exemplary form of a neglected marriage - not devoid of love in its entirety I would say, but devoid of communication and attention; not one character was likeable. Aside that, I felt Stella could easily have played Gustav's mother rather than his wife.

In my opinion too, I felt most scenes could have worked better with more lighting.

Loved the closeup shots of Gustav's eyes at the beginning of the film. It sort of reminded the audience that the eyes alone could speak a thousand emotions if attention is paid to it.

Favorite Lines for me are: I love you (Anna to Stella) Everytime you say that, I double it. (Stella)

Lovely twist at the climax too; never knew the wife was severely ill till the resolution, even though she was once shown popping pills into her mouth.

Overall, the movie wasn't spectacular but it did showcase a terrific theme in regards to staying true to one's marital vow irrespective of the circumstances.

Sometimes you come across a movie that just plucks a chord in your life, In your heart, in your soul.

I found this by chance and had no idea what it was about or what to expect. It moved me deeply and not only had phenomenal acting but was made extremely well.

The emotions, the life lessons, the music. It was so real and for a moment felt like it was my own family and I was watching my life go by.

It's so easy to get stuck in the monotonous habits of day to day life. To see the forest for the trees can sometimes feel impossible.

This movie is provoking, inspiring, emotional and evokes thoughts and questions that some of us might have put aside or buried for some time.

I rarely write reviews for movies here, but I had to.

Absolutely beautiful.

Josephine Bornebusch's Släpp taget excels in its deeply heartfelt depiction of familial complexities. With nuanced performances and authentic emotional beats, it draws viewers into the struggles and joys of reconnecting with loved ones. The film's sensitive approach to parenthood, sibling relationships, and personal growth leaves an indelible impact, often bringing audiences to tears.

However, the film ambitiously tackles an array of themes, occasionally risking a lack of focus. This narrative sprawl can slightly dilute its otherwise powerful storytelling. Still, Släpp taget resonates through its honesty and compelling portrayal of human connections, making it a poignant cinematic experience. A rare gem that captures the heart, even if it reaches for too much.

Josephine Bornebusch's latest drama, "Let Go" (Släpp taget), is a poignant exploration of family dynamics that showcases her exceptional talents as a director, writer, and actress. Set against the backdrop of a mother's desperate attempt to hold her family together amidst the turmoil of her husband's impending divorce, the film offers a raw and relatable narrative that resonates deeply with viewers.

The story unfolds over a two-week journey to support their daughter's pole-dancing competition, a unique premise that serves as a catalyst for healing and reconnection. Bornebusch masterfully navigates the complexities of familial relationships, illustrating how shared experiences can bridge emotional divides.

Drawing from her own experiences within a large family, she brings a wealth of perspective to the screen. Her keen understanding of the intricacies of relationships allows her to portray the everyday challenges families face with sensitivity and nuance. The film eschews melodrama in favor of genuine moments that reflect the ordinary yet profound nature of family life.

The performances are outstanding, with Bornebusch herself delivering a heartfelt portrayal of a mother caught in a whirlwind of emotions. The chemistry among the cast enhances the film's authenticity, making the audience feel invested in the characters' journeys.

In a world where family narratives often lean towards the sensational, Bornebusch's approach is refreshingly grounded. She focuses on the small, everyday moments that define relationships, allowing viewers to connect with the characters on a personal level. A pleasant surprise!

I did not expect this movie to be this good! Josephine Bornebusch did a great job here hence my very high rating. She wrote, directed and was the leading actress performing as Stella, a mother who when faced with chaos and uncertainty in her family, chose the path of unity and reconciliation. She did this with strong conviction despite her opposing husband. I do not come across such a performance that often. She deserves all the praise for her contribution to this movie.

The movie, which is originally in Swedish, is about family relationships, parenthood, love, sickness, betrayal, and responsibilities. The plot is nicely written, and music chosen is spot on. Pål Sverre Hagen playing as Gustav, Stella's husband and Sigrid Johnson playing as Anna, their daughter performed really well too.

In my opinion, it is a good contender for the International Feature Film Award at the 2025 Oscars!

Let Go 2024 is a visually stunning, deeply emotional journey of healing and self-discovery.the film follows as they grapple with letting go of the past to move forward. The story unfolds with breathtaking cinematography, using light and color to reflect the protagonist's inner struggles, while nature itself becomes a symbol of clarity and release.

Josephine Bornebusch delivers a heartfelt performance, capturing the vulnerability and resilience of their character with grace. The soundtrack enhances every scene, heightening emotions without overpowering the story. Supporting characters are dynamic, bringing authenticity to the relationships that shape and support the protagonist's growth.

Ultimately, Let Go isn't just about one person's journey but resonates universally, exploring the courage required to let go of our own pasts. With its exceptional performances and visuals, the film leaves a lasting impression, urging viewers to embrace change. A must-watch for those seeking an introspective cinematic experience.

Some movies grab you right from the first frame. Let Go doesn't just pull you in-it keeps you captivated frame by frame, delivering what feels like a perfect film.

As the mother navigates the complex needs of her children, Let Go masterfully balances brutally honest, heartbreaking moments with warm, hopeful ones, all while steering clear of clichés.

Both lead actors deliver incredible performances. With just a look, a gesture, or a tilt of the head, they convey profound emotion. They achieve so much with so little, making everything feel raw and utterly real.

The themes explored here are strikingly clear: love isn't something that simply exists-it requires effort. The story delves into honesty and vulnerability, showing how withholding that vulnerability can erode relationships, while sharing it can strengthen bonds immeasurably.

This is a film worth going out of your way to see.

The tension and emotion between the parents is extremely sensible. When I look I want to cry on the mothers', Stella, behalf, I feel aggression towards the dad Gustav, I want to scream to him, exactly like she does, I feel her disappointment. The children are very aware of the situation in their own ways.

There is nothing exaggerated about this relationship, sadly this is what can happen within families. And if a possible divorce isn't enough, another disaster ruins the family...

During a trip the family faces emotional challenges. A long discussion on the road is an amazing acting job. Sigrid Johnson reflects difficult puberty in a nutshell, the change within Gustav, by Pål Sverre Hagen, is beautifully visualised and I only have good words for Josephine Bornebusch, what an incredible woman she is.
