Den bästa sommaren

Truly a great and beautiful Swedish piece, nicley put together with a great comedic style, great acting, very beautiful soundtrack and very well written manuscript.

A film that reminds me of "Mitt Liv som hund"

A very intriguing perspective of what freedom means.

A very deep and interesting film.

It has both sad and funny moments! Well directed!

You will notice that "Den bästa sommaren" is made with pure passion for filmmaking and its very well made down to the smallest details.

Its really capturing the time, which it is said to take place during, really good!

Kjell Bergkvist with a really really good performance!

Extreme well written characters and really well acted!

Cinematography, editing and soundtrack is really good!

Definitely one of the more better Swedish films out there. I really recommend it to everyone!

When I sat down to watch this movie I was rather depressed. "Den bästa sommaren" changed that.

Wonderful film about two orphans spending their summer holidays together in late 50s Swedish countryside. Their "father" for the summer is a seemingly square and restrained coroner, struggling for self-respect and gaining respect from others. With the 1958 soccer World Cup (which was held in Sweden) as a background, the three of them, and the kids' teacher, find their lives changing - for the better.

Great acting, wonderful photo, good timing and a story that will make your day brighter too. 10/10.

"Den bästa sommaren" is a very entertaining and charming Swedish film set in rural Sweden in the 1950s. Once again Ulf Malmros has written a great script (he also wrote the script for e.g. the Swedish "cult" tv-series "Rapport till himlen"). And once again Malmros works with Kjell Bergqvist who is simply brilliant in this film. The character suits him perfectly. So, basically, what's best about this film is Bergqvist, but the movie in itself is also very entertaining and funny.

This excellent comedy is about a undertaker who takes care of two orphans during the summer. They have to overcome his ways of living and they try to help in the way they can. Maybe, just maybe, this will end happy...

Herleg film! Eg digga den! Det kjem du til å gjere også. Full av hjartevarme, humor, alvor og håp. Skulle ønske det fanst fleire slike filmar. Filmen viser oss at det aldri er for seint, og at det er håp, også når ein har innfunne seg med skjebnen.

Gravferdsagenten er pedantisk og regelbunden, men eigentleg ein bra mann, noko han til gagns viser i avslutningsscena. Dei to barna gjer to kjempebra prestasjonar. Attpåtil er den svenske landsbygda vakker, og let oss drøyme oss vekk til ei anna tid. Denne sommaren er uforgløymeleg for alle involverte. Også for sjåaren. Tommel opp frå meg! Likte filmen veldig godt!
