I can't fault the writing, the acting or the piece as a whole in any way really.
The dynamics and relationships between all the characters, especially of the central family, were done very convincingly. This did feel like a real family and the individuals behaved believably (even the young children).
I felt that the main "subject" of the film was masculinity. The way in which Tomas handles the position he finds himself in; and the way Tomas and his friend Mats try to exorcise his feelings.
I could relate to Tomas, also being a father with two young kids, and that probably helped me to "get into" the film. I do wander how much I'd have got out of it had I been (for example) a 25 year old bachelor.
