This documentary was a bit disappointing. Very similar to "Lucky People Center International" from 1998, only more repetative and less imaginative. Maybe that is because Johan Söderberg was co-director on both of them?
The movie deals with consumption, for me a very interesting subject. It was no suprise that this movie held a critical stance towards capitalism and consumerism, as that kind of view is very politically correct and trendy nowadays in Sweden. However, to my disappointment, the movie really doesn't contain much fact or discussion at all - some nice looking images with good-sounding music are shown, some of them repeated over and over again. While this was used in a good way in "LPCI", where it created a nice flow between the different scenes, here it just becomes... repetative.
Conclusion: If you don't have much to say, better to shut up.
4/10
