Rating: 10/10
This movie is about an old man that appears to be grumpy. The story
gradually reveals his back-story in a masterful way to explain his
behaviour that will probably change your opinion of the main character.
I can honestly say that I have never before felt such a strong
connection to a character in a movie. This is an absolute masterpiece.
The directing of the movie is also great. It's easy to understand who
is who and when a flashback occurs even if you have not read the book.
The greatness of the movie will be most appreciated if you understand
Swedish, but even if you depend on subtitles it will still be a gem
that you should not miss out on.
I am very conservative with rating movies 10/10, but this one I think
truly deserves it!
