Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Bridget Jones's Diary, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Elisabeth leaves her abusive and drunken husband Rolf, and goes to live with her brother, Göran. The year is 1975 and Göran lives in a commune called Together. Living in this leftist commune Elisabeth learns that the world can be viewed from different perspectives.
