In a time when technology is supposed to make our lives easier but often turns them upside down, this film masterfully conveys that the responsibilities we, as adults, must bear are not burdens or chains holding us back, but the true key to living a healthy and happy life. I congratulate the entire cast for delivering this message so skillfully in every scene, and especially Ms. Bornebush, whose Oscar-worthy performance, brilliant screenplay, and outstanding direction have resulted in a magnificent masterpiece. I'm also ashamed and saddened that this is the first time I've realized such an extraordinary talent.
Great acting by the cast. Great writing. Great dialogue. There are a couple of unforgettable scenes that made my day.
This film gives the viewer a realistic glimpse of what can happen inside a marriage--the challenges, the frustration, the disappointments that the couple have to contend with as they try to make the marriage work as they raise a family. The viewer easily sees himself/herself in those scenes and relate with the characters intimately in a vicarious way.
It seems primarily the story of the male lead as he grapples with the demands of being married and raising a family, and realizing he hasn't done much for the marriage and family. And the realization hits him hard.
Such a situation happens to many of us. And the male viewer develops some kind of kinship with him.
This Swedish film deserves your time and attention.

This was far better then i excepted! Amazing performances by every actor! Truly phenomenal!
Regardless of what you think is right or wrong in relationships, you see in this film that different perspectives can be very variable in a relationship and that family dramas are extremely important to resolve as quickly as possible and blend in and understand each other!
This is both a funny, powerful, deep and heavy dramafilm to watch! Very intriguing and a far better drama then i thought it was gonna be!
It has some poorly made scenes and some of unrealistic aswell and the environment is pretty confusing at some moments, but all together this get pretty good and interesting.
Very well written!
Josephine Bornebusch does a amazing work in directing and acting!
A very thought provoking and moving film!
Feels very authentic!
I really recommend this!

Josephine Bornebusch's Släpp taget excels in its deeply heartfelt depiction of familial complexities. With nuanced performances and authentic emotional beats, it draws viewers into the struggles and joys of reconnecting with loved ones. The film's sensitive approach to parenthood, sibling relationships, and personal growth leaves an indelible impact, often bringing audiences to tears.
However, the film ambitiously tackles an array of themes, occasionally risking a lack of focus. This narrative sprawl can slightly dilute its otherwise powerful storytelling. Still, Släpp taget resonates through its honesty and compelling portrayal of human connections, making it a poignant cinematic experience. A rare gem that captures the heart, even if it reaches for too much.

But so much more. I prefer foreign films, so was drawn to this recommendation on NFLX. It started out as what I thought a peek into a neglected marriage, obviously because the husband was having an affair. With precision reveals, it becomes clearer what could be happening in this family's lives. So well written and executed by the writer, director and lead actress who is one and same person! Without giving away too much, this is a deep, authentic, visceral story that will stay with you long after viewing, as others have written here in the reviews. Why this isn't on everyone's radar as a MUST WATCH, is beyond me.
