A film telling the most trivial and ordinary truth

While living in a pandemic world, We were engulfed by momentary stress and problems of survival, and forget our precious things. This movie became a wake up call enough for my pandemic daily life. The characters in the movie have somewhat extreme tendencies, but we can find ourselves in their appearance. Although some scenes in the movie are deliberate and uncomfortable, I think it is an appealing drama that does not miss the power of truth. Their regrets and tears will make you contact your loved ones after watching the movie. I was really impressed by the first Swedish movie I saw. Recommend to everyone.

Love the nature voice

I loved the quirky unexpected story lines. Unpredictability is a stimulant. The camerawork, the editing, the sexy "nature" narration over the intro title and Joel Spira's superbly mediocre guitar playing made this film special.

Orca - social distance.

It is not a documentary because Sweden did not have the same lock down like the rest of the world during the pandemic. But it is a very strong drama film where you get to follow different people's stories during this time. Yes, it's depressing and quite miserable, but it's a bit like you would have seen the story in the theater if they had been open. You get close to the characters. Almost too close for it to be comfortable. A new kind of film in a new kind of reality. I hope that when the pandemic is under control, we will appreciate our world and our freedom a little more.

What A Beautiful Film

Bornebusch, the Swedish filmmaker no. 1, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE! Orca is a perfect ballence of drama, light humor, social distancing, aging, life changes and all in between. The film that has a very low budget, and is the opposite to an Action movie leans on one of the most authentic, passionate, well written scripts of the year! The Acting is also incredible and very realistic. To conclude this: THE CORONA MOVIE TO BEAT

Normal life storys.

The film describes how the pandemic feels. instead of how it is in sweden. The acting was good from many. But did not really understand the message. Or was there any? Try to see other people's problems without them showing them? There are too many people that are the "main actors", to get the message across. I did get the sad feeling, but not in a good way. most depressing.

The recording styile is diffrent from other swedish movies, but its not something new.

Trivia
The original title "Orca" refers to the species name in Latin (or English) although in Swedish the animal is called "späckhuggare". The director confirmed in an interview that the title also alludes to the Swedish word "orka" (to cope) and a theme is that people won't feel good when separated from others.

Quotes
Berättarröst naturfilmer: The Orca. A highly social mammal that actively interacts and hunts in groups. The participation of all members is essential and fundamental to survival.
