Abysmal
Gyllene Tider are Swedish pop culture royalty, right up there with ABBA. Per Gessle is a musical genius, who went on to form Roxette with Marie Fredriksson after Gyllene Tider.
Per Gessle deserves to have his origin story told well and I don't believe it was done with this film, at all.
The actor chosen to play the part of Per is an odd one. His demeanor is strongly feminine and he is projecting strong homosexual vibes. The actor is constantly smiling even during serious scenes, and comes off as very bizarre.
This film is all over the place, and instead of going into depth about anything, it's just one big montage of bits and pieces here and there. Without the music to provide a theme for this film, it would have made absolutely no sense at all.
This is a perfect example of why Swedish people in general prefer not to watch domestic cinema...
Skäms på er! Detta var uruselt. Per Gessle och Gyllene Tider förtjänar bättre.
