Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for music lovers and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Before Midnight or The Piano.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 36 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
During a brief summer vacation, a lonely woman recalls her first love thirteen years earlier.
