One of the absolutely best films from Sweden for several years. A must see for everyone!
The acting is fantastic and the plot is highly credible. I understand that the directors intention initially was to do a documentary. But, he got so caught up in the reality in the Stockholm suburbs that it evolved into a movie-project. He then spent three years researching, interviewing; police, social workers, teachers, kids and grown ups to get a good picture of the problem.
Now, 2023, we have big troubles with gangrelated shooting and murders in Sweden. Which have led the rightwing to increase and shout for harder punishment mor the young crimonals. One example is a suggestion that you should hand out life sentences to thirteen year olds! This picture gives a good insight into the problem. Judge for yourself, but don´t miss it!
