Reviews
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
vskfanz Film based from the book with the same name. A true (tragic) lifestory of Hasse P. Good acting by Persbrandt and Lindström Bolmgren who has the correct swedish accent for the specific area. The film was good but not better than the book. The book has a way better ending a couple of months after the world record which you cannot predict. Also I think the book has more comedy and tons of more details than the film. Overall a good job especially with 80's feel and nostalgia.
