Ghita Nørby is the only good thing in this film - but her performance is wasted on a really meaningless script. The plot moves so slowly that I cannot recommend "Freud Flytter Hjemmefra".
Freud, as she is called, lives a semi-sheltered life in her Jewish family with a mother that suffocates her environment with her "care" and a father that is an endless stream of old Jewish jokes.
She must break up. She must get away. And when she finds the man of her dreams... well I will not spoil it.
True it is not a rapid action comedy but if you don't mind Jewish humor with Swedish flavour and if you don't mind the tongue in the cheek it is well worth watching.
It quickly became one of my very favorites. And apart from a most wonderful script, the main reason is foremost the acting of Gunilla Röör and the supporting cast by Philip and Jessica Zandén.
I love this movie.

The overall plot - a young woman on the verge of moving away from the home of her parents for the first time - may seem trivial enough. What makes the film so remarkable is, however, the extraordinary good dramatic - and funny! - use made of this plot. The acting is vivid and the main character (the girl, called "Freud" due to her excessive interest for psychoanalysis and her persistent analyses of her family ...) is brilliantly played by Susanne Röör. A good-hearted, warm film to be recommended to anyone interested in a film depicting "ordinary life" in an extraordinary, funny and yet thought-provoking way!
