    A masterpiece

    The film is quite slow, unlike a typical modern American film. I just love the mood in the film and the lightning is superb. The film is full of wonderful images. Coming from the same part of Sweden as film is taking place in, I enjoy the scenery and the accent of the actors. The music and sound is outstanding. I love the movie!

    Amanda Ooms shines in a very thin story

    I´m ashamed to be a swede. A typical swedish movie. No tempo and nothing happens, really dull. The whole story is about a woman who shall take a flying certificate.

    Amanda Ooms is the only positive thing.

    Admiration for Amanda and her skillful work.

    Excellent light and close ups.Beautiful nature.Nice tempo. Good actors.Perhaps the film ought to be shortened by a few minutes regarding the Berlin part of the story. All together i think its an excellent film.

    Fly away

    This apparently is based on a true person - but is quite free with the interpretation of what actually happened. So while I wouldn't know what actually went down and how much freedom this took and .. flew away with (no pun intended), I can say that the movie tells quite the intriguing story.

    And it doesn't just work as a female empowerment piece. This is a movie about following your dream(s). And who can not relate to that? Exactly - suspend your disbelief and just spread your wings... don't do that, you need an airplane, otherwise this doesn't work. And even then, best is to have a pilot - unless you are one yourself always quite important. As you will see in the movie too in more than one scene.

    1hr and 53 minutes too long

    The only film I have ever fallen asleep to in a cinema.

    To start with, this is an extremely dull film. The acting was melodramatic, punctuated by supposedly meaningful looks . This film lacks any kind of gumption and includes a truly mind numbingly wishy washy plot.

    On the plus side there are some good scenery and costumes. Quite high production values.

    I have seen many better Swedish films than this e.g. "As it is in Heaven"

    If you really have trouble sleeping at night then i recommend this film and a comfy pillow.
