Overall i kinda liked it, but with a Netfilx budget a few adjustments here and there could have made this movie even more pleasing on the eye.
Its a good youth love story and different cultures meet.
Worth your time Check it out.

Two individuals with different backgrounds ... yes you've probably heard the story before. And yes Shakespeare (and others I reckon) have done amazing work with that premise. So if you compare it with masterpieces ... well this won't fair too good.
Having said that, if you can free yourself from any comparisons (or at least most of them), you can have some fun with this version of the class war ... and love. Not too much war going on I reckon.
It's a decent effort that targets a teenage audience. So if you are the target audience, you may like this more than others here.

We've seen this multiple times: poor boy falls in love with rich girl. Their romance is forbidden and eventually their different backgrounds becomes an issue.
Cliché storylines are ok, as long as the execution is well done. And that's the problem.
It's a visually stunning movie and the lead characters are adorable, but there was not enough development. Besides perhaps Sluggo (JJ's best friend) the viewer doesn't get to know their families and friends at all, so you don't care about them. We are introduced to their family dynamics but it goes nowhere. Their daily lives, who they are and their dreams and fears also doesn't matter much.
I feel like it was very slow paced and lacked substance. The climax is very sudden and lasts a few minutes, then there's an abrupt ending. When watching movies like this, we want to know the characters and root for their love. In this case we barely knew who JJ and Elisabeth were, so I genuinely didn't care if they would be together or not.

A series of meaningless opinions and thoughts.
Well done Swedish popular culture.
Well-made film that can saturate many mouths.
The playing time is good but the film has time to present more than it has time to work with.
I wanted to see more of grandma.
A hasty ending.
Good casting and acting.
Awesome main roles (with really good chemistry) that revive Vinterviken1996's characters and give the story a different light.
The director and the cinematographer. Top class!
I'd love to see Elsa or Mustapha work with Alexis again!

I looked forward to watching this film. Sadly, this was really bad.
The worst part is that this film had potential. The tone, setting and main themes are great. But the chemistry between the actors is missing. The main character elisabeth completely lacks personality. She looked bored and depressed the entire film and I struggle to understand why john john would fall in love with someone who seemed dead inside? 1,5 hours was not enough for this movie to be both a romeo and juliet film AND a youth gone bad story/struggling kid from the slums. There are side characters/plots who's presence feels unnecessary because they dont explore them: the evil grandmother and the selling of the summerhouse... elisabeths dead mother...john johns mothers evil boyfriend...the school theatre show... john johns best friends spiral into crime. Nothing in this movie gets resolved. No one gets redemption. No one gets rewarded for anything. And since I'm not at all convinced by j and e:s "lovestory" but am instead invested in how they will perform in school, jonh johns fabulous friends, jj's relationship with his mother - instead, it's a frustrating watch with little or no reward at the end. Are they bonnie and clyde now or what happened?

Although the leads are very easy on the eye, the overall plot was a disappointment.
A story line that has been done umpteen times, girl from good family meets boy from bad, however, in this case it got lost and confused.... This is a shame, because it started with promise, and ended with as a confused disappointment.
There needed to be more story and character development......and there was time, the movie is just on 1 hour 30.... The leads are so easy to look at 2 hours would have been not a problem. If we could have had more exploration around the final scenes with buddies mates and then the ending, which is total confusion, maybe the story wouldn't have got so 'lost'.

If this film is accurate, Sweden today certainly looks different than it did in my parents time. If you like that, you will probably like this film. It was well acted, and is a competent drama.
But my biggest problem is that I have a difficult time accepting the premise that this young woman who looks 18 is going to have a romance with a kid who looks like he's 13.

The old one was better and more edgy and fun! The old one is a 5 out of 10 but this is a 3 out of ten! Old actors were better and i recommend you to see the old one (it´s trash but better)
And also go and see Felix Nordhs Review of Vinterviken (1996) it´s funny!

Elisabeth could have showed more character.
Besides that, the movie felt so realistic.
Almost the same as my experience.
And for some reason I felt the main character was JJ. 💁

Personally I really liked it and I'm definitely hoping for a second movie to explain more of what happened in the end of the movie! As an American person, I find Scandinavian culture very interesting and I think this film was very cool and interesting in showing the cultural and class differences even just there in Sweden. Loved it!

Anyone who have seen the swedish original movie, knows that it's a big movie to take on. The storyline is almost the same but with a modern-day touch to it. All the characters names are correct and where the movie plays out in stockholm suburbs.
What you all should know is that all the actors are new to the movie industry. So I personally think rather they are doing a worry good job. The movie reflects the life in the suburbs today really well, and how the life is for young people growing up there.
Overall the movie was great! My kids loved it!

If you wanna chill with a good young-loveish movie with GOOD and A LOT of drama, this ones for you. It's very touching, and gives a lot of different emotions, mostly excitement and sorrow.
Very good actors.
The main character is also Muslim (I suppose, not sure) which hangs out with some pretty "Swedish" looking guys (Also not sure how swedish they are) That's really nice too.
There is home drama, Highschool drama, friend drama, love drama, every kind of drama and i was so in for it.
I'm 15 and it was just perfect, but my mom at 43 also liked it a lot, so it's pretty much for everyone, but NOT a family movie with kids under 13.
There is a little about shooting and stuff VERY LITTLE NOT AT ALL A LOT, so if your not into that, this may be slightly wrong for you.
Not one of my favorite movies, but almost there, and TOTALLY worth watching!

JJ+E (Vinterviken) is easily one of the best movies I've ever watched. At its core, it's a love story, but it's also about friendship, loyalty, and how two people from completely different worlds can still find each other. The chemistry between John-John and Elisabeth feels raw and genuine-you believe in their connection from the very first moment.
I was especially drawn to John-John's friend. His character brought so much energy and heart, and his loss hit me really hard. That part of the movie stays with you long after the credits roll.
The ending is what makes JJ+E so powerful. It doesn't hand us a perfect fairy-tale conclusion-instead, it leaves us with the same uncertainty and hope that real life has. That's what makes it feel so authentic.
Overall, I'd give this a 10/10. It's emotional, heartfelt, and unforgettable. I really hope there's a sequel someday, because I'd love to see where John-John and Elisabeth's story goes.
