Den sista resan

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.

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.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, and the first time that I have given a top rating to a movie.

Even the day after watching it, it made me shed tears just thinking about some parts of it. There is something very genuine and good about Lars. He is a person with a pure heart, and you can clearly see it in this movie. It's hard to see a person like Lars come to age even for a stranger, so seeing Filip's frustration about the situation makes me understand him a lot, and feel empathy for both of them.

I have been a fan of Filip and Fredrik for a long time and always appreciated their work, but still I didn't expect this at all. This one is a masterpiece.

I didn't know what to expect from this movie. The film has been in the theaters for a while. The film will be Sweden's Oscar contribution to the Oscars in 2025. Normally I do not like Filip and Fredrik, they are very loud and rowdy on their shows on TV. Figured I'd at least give it a chance, so I'll went and checked it out. My God, what a surprise I got. A film that is so moving with so much joy, laughter, tears and pure emotional experience. Got completely warm in the heart. I am so glad I went and watched the movie. I'm afraid to repeat myself, but this movie is probably the best movie I've seen this year. Have seen so many good movies this year. 2024 is a successful year for film indeed. You feel happy in the soul to walk out of the cinema with a big smile on your face. Enjoy, laugh, cry and feel the joy after watching this movie. This experience was worth every second of the movie. Watch the movie now.

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.
