This recent swedish masterpiece, in the style of the french film tradition like the works of Truffaut, is definitely a highlight of the past years, as well as a very important and ever contemporary story.
The problems of gangs, shootings and racism on two sides has become a bit of a problem in Sweden, as highlighted by the media. And it is beautifully depicted in a very complex manner in this film.
The actors, even the children, all do an incredible job, and I hope to see a long career ahead of them. The lead boy especially conveys the role of a good boy being dragged down on an unfortunate and paved path in tragic and real fashion.
Overall, a tragic, yet realistic and beautifully put together film that I would recommend for everyone, especially people in Sweden who know the story behind it all!
