Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
mihaelstojanovic Very realistic 70's style Swedish movie. It has a clear message, don't mess with mafia. I liked it so much as I was watching the film with the family so their argument was Dagmar and the rest of the mobster hierarchy will be judged by the court and incarcerated in the jail and I said hell no, they won't as there are so many guidelines they won't since the beginning. The film is not about pimps, it's about very influential madam and the politicians even ministers who use her services. It's so clear when you immerse deep into the synopsis of the movie. A little thing on the beginning is they start to decriminalize sex activities, it's mentioned those who did offenses of having a sex with a minor will serve only up to two (2) years in prison so they push water at it's mill. Also John is badly beaten hence before he noticed, secret service which is above him trims the sound tapes so he can't get a clear proof against the criminals. When Dagmar was brought to investigation she acts proudly and fearlessly. She talks with John like he is her client not like a police agent he used to be. John's college is involved as he notices it when he verbally attacked Iris so he hit him in the face. Later on in the vehicle college said you're at your own which is a clear evidence no one will beat Dahmar and the rest of the crew. The part which is so clear, Iris is in the hotel but her client isn't shown, on the next scene is the president of the social democratic party so we know it's him. Notice in the beginning of the film it's mentioned there are seven (7) more days until the election day and we hear his speech where you can apprehend he and his party are influential. The last part when you know Dagmar is a clear winner is when the John is killed and from the beginning they said few times secret service knows everything.From a view of the technicalities movie is a little of bit longer, it could've been shorten 30 minutes and all the synopsis would fit. The part where girls are scared out of parent's reaction is very unlikely to happened in real as they are in the orphanage so they rarely see their parents and parents have no authority. The main reason for the excellent grade is the movie ending as it was expected. Since the beginning they gave us evidences and we had to think what will happened so it's one of the movies when you think while watching, you know the end.
Reno Rangan A Swedish semi adult-drama inspired by the real story of country's corruption and scandal during the time woman's liberation and the sexual revolution. It also went through controversy before hitting the screen. The story is set in the backdrop of the 1976 general election which centers around two troubled teenage girls Iris and Sonja. They are sent to live in a juvenile home, in the night time they begin to explore the city with other girls from the institution. Then they meet a woman called Dagmar who introduce them into the all new world. Like the German movie 'The Lives of Others' a young police officer named Sandberg is assigned to comb the taped phone calls, only for the formality. As he goes deeper into it becomes bigger, he cross-connects which crack loose everything to hit him back.The movie might be about prostitution but it had less nude scenes which come occasionally. That mean you should not consider it is suitable for all age group. But good for the movie fans from different category who are willing to know the true incident than witnessing sexual side of the tale. It also indicates the struggle of underage girl's without proper guidance in the society. More like the country's security system was flawed. Especially the character Iris' run away at the end tells how safe it was for women in those times.The filmmakers brought the real atmosphere of 70s. I think it was the perfect cast and their performances. Overall it was a nice movie which throws some lights on the truth about illegal activities and underage prostitution and also dragging the powerful names. Yeah, you must see this movie to know all these in picture than expecting some erotic.7/10
Laakbaar I'm not sure I'm qualified to review this movie because I walked out after an hour, something I rarely do. (Usually if I'm not enjoying a film, I fall asleep.) The current IMDb rating is too high.Something went wrong with the exposition in this movie. After a while I was able to discern that the story involves a troubled and promiscuous teenager abandoned by her mother at a relaxed juvenile residence. For reasons that were unexplained in the movie, the young residents were allowed to do what they wanted, and come and go as they pleased. Of course, they all went to Stockholm, and got into trouble. (Is this realistic? What kind of state-run facility was this exactly?)At some point she blithely and stupidly got caught up in a sex network of some kind involving an older guy and then a group of older people. (Who were the men with Glans?) They got these girls drunk and had sex with them. This is pedophile rape, and a rather powerful scene, but the movie doesn't really dwell on it. The event doesn't seem to bother the girl at all.You have to give the moviegoer some reason to care about what happens. A movie should have a hero, or antihero, of some kind. I thought she was it, but I developed little sympathy for her, even though we were shown some of her back story. I understand that girls just want to have fun, and need some cash now and again, but what is in it for the moviegoer? There seemed to be no insights, no entertainment value. The rest of the plot was difficult to follow (at least for the first hour). For the life of me, I couldn't quite put the pieces together. It didn't help that the filmmaker lingered a little too long on details and activities that seemed corollary and unnecessary.From what I could gather, there was a woman (lesbian?) running an unsophisticated prostitution ring involving several different people, a few Swedish politicians (who?), including some enacting a bill to decriminalize incest (?), Polish diplomats who have sex in their offices (?), security officials, an investigator and so on. The investigator is tasked with investigating the prostitution ring; he does it by creeping up the stairs and listening through the door.The seduction and sex scenes were squalid. Almost everyone seemed to be constantly smoking. Endless shots of people sitting around, languidly smoking. For me, smoking is usually somewhat disgusting to watch; here we see gratuitous tobacco abuse in every scene. Were the Swedes such heavy smokers back then?Much of the action takes place at night, or in the rain, or indoors in rather decrepit, cheap-looking buildings. There was nothing here for the eye.I suppose this might be a movie about the horrors of ultra-liberalism in Sweden in the 1970s and moral corruption in Swedish politics at the time. If so, it wasn't (for at least the first hour of this movie) really entertaining or easy to follow. The question that arose for me was this: why should I care what happens to these people?? After two people walked out, I realised I didn't care, so I walked out as well.
evk311 i had no idea what movie to expect , i saw the title and thought i was gonna see an easy American style thriller action fun movie. i am open minded so i was ready for whatever came on the screen. however what i saw was an impressive movie that also seemed to be a true story . i can imagine those things really happened , although few erotic scenes looked really weird and not real , i guess i am not that perverted . but the whole film seemed very realistic, no crazy action 3D VFX etc.one of the strong parts is the 70s feeling. the people look very 70s styled. i mean they did a fantastic job to show the feel of that time and how it looked and felt. if you were in the 70s you can definitely tell how realistic the movie was. another great thing was i didn't got bored for a second. the story went on and on , and i had no idea where it was going and it was very unpredictable and interesting to see how things turned towards the end. last thing; there was a big shock moment somewhere in the movie , it scared the heck out of me , i suddenly jumped out of my chair for a second, i can't tell you what it was , you go see for yourself. if you like realistic 70s movies , this is a good one. i liked it.
