Reviews

essankay A young priest from an affluent background with frustrations and doubts about about his faith requests a transfer to a failing church in one of the dreary suburbs of Gothenburg, Sweden (NOT Stockholm as the fellow from Stockholm that wrote another review on here stated).While going door to door in his new, disinterested parish he comes across a young lady in a wheelchair. The two share an attraction, but he has trepidations about dating someone on welfare and in a wheelchair.This is an interesting dramedy with some fine performances. It dares to tackle some subjects that are largely taboo in most cinema. The characters and most of the dialog rings true. On the whole, an interesting Swedish film.
Niklas Pivic Swedish film where a young man turns priest, falls in love with a girl in a wheelchair and begins to doubt his faith. A stereotypical case of "opposites attract", the priest is a coward from a rich background, and the girl quite tough, living with her alcoholic mom in some skid row, this film falls on hard times where most films fail in trying to work against stereotypes. The only kicker being the funny banter between the main characters. The tedious story-line and rough total feel of the film bored me. If only the director had injected more into the characters, especially the ones that simply wait in the side-lines, I'm sure this film would have moved somewhere else, but as is, it's simply stale bread with only a couple of good, surprising ingredients thrown in.
holm_victor The film was about guy called Tobias who is a priest. He just moved out from his old apartment and moved into his "X" girlfriends apartment in Uppsala. He starts working in a church but no people is coming to his assemblies. So Tobias decides do go knock on doors to decide people to come to church. Every body is turning him down. But when he almost has given up his hopes a woman comes out of her apartment door. The woman sits in a wheelchair. She rools up to Tobias and says shes sorry that she coulden't answer the door before because she was in the restroom. She said her name was Carola. Tobias and Carola goes to a restaurant and eat pizza. After a couple of weeks Carola's fake dad died so Tobias has to ceep the funeral. the day after he and Carola goes to water the plants in Tobias parents apartment because they are on a holiday.
prenumerera This isn't really a romantic comedy to me, it is more of a drama film that is made to look like a comedy because else it would not sell as many movie tickets. The drama part of this comedy gives it a depth that other movies is this genre doesn't have.None the less this movie makes you laugh a lot. There are many scenes with toally crazy situations where i laughed my pants off.*spoilers*A movie about a handicapped girl with a alchoholic mother is more of a drama film than anything. All her friends are alchoholics and hang out in the ghetto. The girl even tries to commit suicide in one scene, this makes strong impression on me. But as this girl has a lovely personality the main male charachter can't seem to forget...*end spoilers*I can recommend this movie for everyone that likes swedish comedy and drama movies. 8/10.
