Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I just finished watching this. I really don't understand why this is getting such a low rating on this site. I wonder how many of the reviewers even watched the whole thing.This film is part heavy drama, part surreal fantasy. All storytelling. Good storytelling. It takes its time. Great character development.One constant characteristic of this movie are plot turns every few minutes which surprise the viewer. The director seems highly skilled at this.Finally, a very good musical score completes the film.My only criticism would be that the film is a bit too long; the director has indulged themselves. But who am I to judge such a solid work? Thanks for making this.

Great directing, great acting, magnificent script.Just way too sad. The redeeming of the characters in the end comes too late and is a little unbalanced - only that leads me to give it 8 stars.For everyone who has enjoyed Amelie, or Big Fiss, or Mr. Nobody, this will be a great movie.It has it all, passion, death, innocence, humor, crime, life's roughness and life's lessons, a little magic, some sad poetry and a story so strong and so original you will be able to unglue your eyes from the screen.

Me and my kids 16 and 23 just loved this film. We have seen a lot of Swedish movies but never something even close to this. Who does not want to cook their own gold? The story of the keys was also very touching and nice. There are many symbols in the film that has great significance for the story. We loved the little boy with Down Syndrome and his sister Fragancia. Alicia Vikander is a star! All roles were played by very talented actors. Bill Skarsgård will probably become just as famous as his brother Alex Skarsgard. But best of all was the underwater scenes. Incredibly beautifully filmed by photographer Anders Bohman. We hope that there will be more movies like this from Sweden

If you are a white lower middle age father and husband watching this movie with your wife and daughter - don't expect this movie to be for you. Unless you are a masochist who enjoys being described as the root of the evil on this Earth.This movie has it all:Evil white male capitalist -- check. Evil white male raping his own wife -- check. Evil white male racist -- check. Dysfunctional white family -- check. Spiritual immigrant family -- check. Wonderful, caring immigrant husband -- check. Wonderful, caring and spiritual immigrant mother - check. White teenagers harassing retarded immigrant child -- check. Gay marriage -- check. Interracial gay marriage -- check.I guess these are the ingredients you end up with, when you are funded by a highly political, left-wing liberal, public Swedish Film Institute which acts on the orders from the Swedish government. (As may be known. the Swedish prime minister (in 2006) said (freely translated): "the only thing original Swedish' is barbarism - everything good comes from the outside").So, why do I give the movie 3 (out of 10)? I think the filming and directing is good. Also, the acting is really good from all actors, not at least by Loa Falkman (the evil white middle-aged male). Jesper Lindberger, playing the boy with Downs Syndrome gives the film its warmth.If you are a white, left wing liberal female, between 14-60 years old - you will love this movie!
