Den sista resan

With warmth, love, laughter and sorrow this documentary shows the complexity when generations age and how they react on the changes.

A true love story between a father and his son and between friends. A story that gives both hope and despair.

The interaction between father and son and between the two friends (Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson) is genuine and empathetic.

Authentic story with no acting, just real life. The beauty of France is included and it's a pleasure to see the views.

Strong, colourful and emphatic creation that shows how turning back time can be both painful and hopeful at the same time.

As real life reality documentaries go, this is a real gem.

Filips father Lars, who is elderly and depressed, is treated to a 'last trip' to his beloved France by his son.

Using recordings from the past, super-8 films mixed with reality-style captures we are taken on an emotional father-son journey on multiple levels.

You have the actual trip but also the emotional journey taken by Filip and his father. We can se the love between a father and a son, and we can see how the son becomes the father, as the father becomes the son.

Lars slowly awakens and for the first time in many years, starts to live again.

This is a heart warming and beautiful story that is rare and it reminds us what family is, or can be.

I am a 31-year-old Swedish man. I have seen many TV programs that Filip and Fredrik have made and it is always about humor. In this film you get to see a new side of them that I haven't seen before, especially Filip. A very caring, kind and empathetic side that touched me deeply.

Filip's father has become depressed and lost his zest for life. Filip and Fredrik take him on a drive to France to relive old memories and hopefully rekindle his zest for life. I have struggled with depression in my life and know how terrible it is, and can therefore relate to a lot of what Filip's father is going through.

There is so much love in this movie. It shows the love between a father and his son. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking, optimistic and pessimistic and funny but serious, at the same time. It really shows the importance of living in the present, to appreciate life and each other, but also to appreciate the life you had and all the memories.

My head hurt after the movie ended because I cried so much. One of the most important and moving films I have seen. A beautiful masterpiece that everyone should watch.

Entering "Den sista resan" as an Australian, recently grieving the loss of my father, I found the film to be an incredible journey. Its universal appeal made it accessible, provoking both tears and laughter. As a documentary, it held me captive, and long after the credits rolled, I grappled with emotions, wishing I could call my dad. The film's straightforward approach illuminated harsh truths about life and aging, leaving an indelible impact. It's more than a documentary; it's a personal reflection on profound aspects of existence. Undoubtedly, it's a cinematic gem I'll revisit, finding solace in its poignant narrative and reliving the emotional rollercoaster.

A grip of the last moment and journey of one mans life.

Swedens contribution and nomination to the academy awards 2025, so i felt i had to watch this. Aswell of the high rating and heard this was going to be really good.

I know the team of Filip and Fredrik is very famous for many years and often their programs is on tv, but they have never made me interested to watch their shows that much, only sometimes. But this was something completely new and something special. And its abit special aswell as its a documentary.

The plot sounded really beautiful and good so i was very intrigued and really longed for to finally see it.

Its very well put togheter, filmed and edited!

First of all, it has a very beautiful storytelling and the soundtrack is also amazing!

A very moving, beautiful, close, heartwarming, feel-good, powerful, meaningful, special, intimate and unique documentary at a driving pace.

Beautiful, but hard to watch at the same time all time from the start until the very end.

Its a very thought provoking documentary! Well worth watching! I really enjoyed it and i really recommend it to everyone!
