Krama mig (2005)
Not a very compelling story.
First of all i didn't care very much for this movie, and it is quite hard to write a review for it without including any spoilers, mostly because not very much really happens in it. I found it to be very straightforward without any surprises, and my guess is that the screenwriter tried to write a story about a normal girl with a normal life. The girl, Minna, whose mother is dead and her father is still grieving floats through the whole movie waiting for someone to notice her and serve her a happy life on a silver plate, much like the title implies. ("Krama Mig" is Swedish for "Hug Me!" in a kind of desperate way).
Most of the other characters doesn't make much sense at all. Among them are a totally stereotypical sleazy overweight guy at her workplace, and she just keeps running into him everywhere, and even invites him! Then we have an equally sleazy driving teacher, whom she has a crush on, and now that I think about it, most men in the movie are having affairs. The rest of the characters are so "ordinary" that i can no longer remember how to describe them.
The movie as a whole is silly and uncompelling. The picture is typically Swedish gray, brown and bleak, with boring light. The sound is quite good by Swedish standards (I'm Swedish and I usually need the subtitles! but not with this movie)
