Truly not a fim for everyone - extremely unique from Swedish Netflix and Swedish film industry at all! But genuinely one of the best entry's of Netflix Originals ever! And one of the best Swedish films ive seen!
But wow this special psychological drama clearly wanting to catch an intelligent and intellectual audience manages to be on a stable level of artistic expression aswell as feeling modern, new and fresh! But at the same time melancholic
The acting is fabulous everwhere - fits very well for this special characters and story which is rarely produced in film.
Directing and cinematography is amazing, aswell as the soundtrack as
Something really special! A artsy, bold, raw, dark, deep and smart film that stays for awhile - that brings something new and that makes you think.

This movie was good, but could have been better just with the right script. The writers should have put more drama and distinction between rich and the masses and a kind of revolt in the main character. He just stays too nordic. The filming is top notch. Meanwhile characters are well played. Scenes are good also and flowing nicely.
I grew up in the part of sweden where this movie takes place. The locations, cosumes, set design, the way the students live feels very authentic. The casting is perfect, very nice subtle acting from the leads. Swedish films are usually very lame, formulatic and predictible, so i loved how you get to follow the main charcter into a new unknown world. Not as good as The Evil (Ondskan) but certainly the best swedish films in many years.

This is a drama and action movie about a new law student who is drawn from his studies into a anarchist type group.
Entertaining enough and it illustrates the "them" and "us" between those who have plenty of money and those who do not.
The elder in the anarchist group is really what can be called a "champagne socialist".
The story has sufficient action and a sort of morality to it keeping the viewer engaged.
It is a Swedish picture dubbed into English.
Worth a look!
6 and a half rounded up=
7/10.

This attempt of intellectual filmmaking fails so hard it's rather impressive. After 45 minutes of running time I just want to shout out, please please please stop meandering and start telling an engaging story.
Instead its greatest achievement, which it completely succeed in delivering is - boring the h-ll of the audience. Not for a single moment do I care or wonder where the split is taking me - it's beyond boring actually. It's dull.
Not even the impressive budget for famous music tracks can make up for this absolute dud of movie.
