Very bleak and uneasy comedy about group pressure, social norms and the trappings of things you don't say out loud. Odd structure - half a dozen separate storylines with no ordinary narrative, it mostly looks like a series of unconnected documentaries of everyday life that gradually find common thematic elements and get more intense. Painfully spot-on, with no easy catharsis to let you put it behind you.

This film might be the most perfect and realistic piece of naturalism that will ever be done. We are as a viewer positioned different akward voyouristic angles to view a number of typical social situations based on the fear of getting left out and the irreversable consequences this akwardness brings. The amusing factor of this film is very swedish and might be hard for many non-swedish to understand but I think it has a topic that most can relate to. Also the acting and dialogs are 100% flawless

Amazing cinematography, but it didn't grip me as much as I would have liked.

Claimed to be the most original film of 2008 Cannes Film Festival - a doubious praise stemming seemingly mostly from the fact that the director forgot there's a good reason why other films generally show faces of conversing people, instead of their feet or the wall behind which they stand. This originality involves also missing some kind of a plot or a solid theme which would bind individual stories.
