One of the best swedish movies. It´s typical for the swedish society in the 50´s! A sweat and touching story about Ingmar who looses his mother and moves to his unkle where life is totaly different! Many funny and intresting things happend and I´m sure you gonna like it!!

MCT:February 23, 2008Cute, and a little sad. I was really tired when I watched it, so I'm sure I nodded off during a few scenes. But on the whole, while it didn't really interest me, and I wouldn't watch it more than once, it was one of the better foreign films I've seen lately.

MCT:February 13, 2008Awesome. great recurring visual themes. very emotive but not manipulating. a slice of swedish class.

The lead kid is surprisingly believable and the other characters are interesting enough. I'm just not a big fan of plotless, episodic coming of age stories.

Touching portrayal of a brave boy and his struggles growing up with a host of wacky characters. Just about stays the right side of whimsical.

MCT:July 6, 2007I'll admit it I don't care for realist films and this film leans too far on the realist side of the spectrum. I know it's appraised and loved, but honestly I found it's cinematography boring and paced like a turtle with no legs. It's well acted and a good story, just hard to sit through.

MCT:June 19, 2007A moving and original srory of a young boy's struggle with grief. Not at all depressing, but have plenty of kleenex handy!

Doesn't fall into that well worn out groove that other coming-of-age films tend to do. I like how the director wasn't afraid of nudity and thus produced some very memorable and real scenes that would today be banned by movie studios and parents' groups.

MCT:May 17, 2007Ingemar has a difficult life at home, but finds a place where he belongs with his uncle and new friends in Smaland. I thought the children were a little too young for a sexual awakening story, but this is still pleasant to watch, and it was nice to see rural Sweden on film, looking just as it really does.
-
MCT:April 21, 2007A moving Swedish movie about a lad with an adult mind and the Swedish ease of relaying sexuality. Wasn't quite my cup of tea, but good nonetheless.

Have you ever heard I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts in Swedish? I think this is very worthwhile European film.

Probably one of the first films to open my eyes to the works of genius awaiting viewers in international cinema. Heartwarming is an overused word but this will do just that. You'll laugh and you may well cry and this film will be one you roll out for the rest of your life whenever you want your emotions stirred.

I enjoyed this old movie. Though it's 20 yrs old, it's not dated as it takes place in the 50s and the theme of the story crosses all time lines. It is both funny and tragic - as most of life is. The main character of the boy in the film did a great job. I think the viewer of this film will be able to ache along with the boy and know what he is feeling. I would strongly recommend that this is not for kids...as the title (and even the rating of PG-13) might suggest...it's an adult film, and that being said I would recommend.
