Grief is a peculiar emotion, and it hits people most bizarrely. People around us deal with grief in their own ways, and there needs to be no judgment passed based on how people deal with pain, which usually follows the loss of a loved one. Afterlife on Netflix is one of the few shows on Ott spaces that discusses how people deal with a personal tragedy. A Part of You, a Swedish Netflix original directed by Sigge Eklund, is about a young girl dealing with personal tragedy. This Netflix original is set to release on May 30th on the streaming platform.

Agnes

Felicia Maxime as Agnes Svan, is a young woman who is a typical introverted teenager who does not find interest in becoming popular like her sister. She, however, notices the kind of life her older sibling Julia loves and is fascinated by how many people know her despite not knowing Agnes.

Netflix’s latest addition to its Swedish drama roster, “A Part of You,” stars Felicia Truedsson and Edvin Ryding. Directed by Sigge Eklund and written by Michaela Hamilton, this film dives deep into the emotional turmoil of its characters while maintaining a stark sense of realism.

An Honest Look at Teen Drama

“A Part of You” presents itself as a straightforward drama without any pretensions. It adheres to the realistic aesthetic familiar to recent Swedish productions on Netflix, focusing on authentic character portrayals and dramatic themes. The film takes its characters’ struggles seriously, delivering a grounded and believable narrative.

However, this commitment to realism comes at a cost. Stylistically, the film resembles a made-for-television movie, and thematically, it leans towards moralistic storytelling. It suggests that straying from societal and parental expectations inevitably leads to trouble—a premise the film neither deeply examines nor robustly challenges. Despite this, Felicia Truedsson delivers a compelling performance,...

Grief is personal and often indescribable, especially one that involves a permanent loss. Everyone around you assures you that you will eventually learn to cope with it, but no one has a guidebook to help you through the process. A Part of You (En Del Av Dig) is an ode to grief, to an unfathomable loss, and it revolves around how those who are subjected to it try and cope in ways that are beyond the understanding of others. Directed by Sigge Eklund and starring Felicia Maxime and Edvin Ryding, A Part of You gets the turmoil and the confusion around grief just right.

Sisters Agnes and Julia were inseparable. They were unlike each other, but that did not hinder the love that they had for one another. Julia was extrovert and fun-loving, while Agnes was an introvert who dreamt of becoming a thespian. Agnes would often secretly watch her...

The thought of losing a sibling is unfathomable to those of us who are fortunate to have them. Perhaps it’s my closeness with my sister that lends to my appreciation of media that represent sibling bonds impeccably. They can be at each other’s throats all the time, or they can be as close as we are, or an awkward, long-lost bunch who have to find their way to loving each other again—it’s a bond that is somehow palpable through it all. The title A Part of You immediately piqued my interest as I learned that it was a story about sisters. I went into the film completely blind, and it definitely didn’t go as I expected. The film explores the life of 17-year-old Agnes after her sister unexpectedly dies, leaving her to navigate life after tragedy all by herself. Immediately, the idea of this film...
