I looked forward to watching this film. Sadly, this was really bad.

The worst part is that this film had potential. The tone, setting and main themes are great. But the chemistry between the actors is missing. The main character elisabeth completely lacks personality. She looked bored and depressed the entire film and I struggle to understand why john john would fall in love with someone who seemed dead inside? 1,5 hours was not enough for this movie to be both a romeo and juliet film AND a youth gone bad story/struggling kid from the slums. There are side characters/plots who's presence feels unnecessary because they dont explore them: the evil grandmother and the selling of the summerhouse... elisabeths dead mother...john johns mothers evil boyfriend...the school theatre show... john johns best friends spiral into crime. Nothing in this movie gets resolved. No one gets redemption. No one gets rewarded for anything. And since I'm not at all convinced by j and e:s "lovestory" but am instead invested in how they will perform in school, jonh johns fabulous friends, jj's relationship with his mother - instead, it's a frustrating watch with little or no reward at the end. Are they bonnie and clyde now or what happened?

If you wanna chill with a good young-loveish movie with GOOD and A LOT of drama, this ones for you. It's very touching, and gives a lot of different emotions, mostly excitement and sorrow.

Very good actors.

The main character is also Muslim (I suppose, not sure) which hangs out with some pretty "Swedish" looking guys (Also not sure how swedish they are) That's really nice too.

There is home drama, Highschool drama, friend drama, love drama, every kind of drama and i was so in for it.

I'm 15 and it was just perfect, but my mom at 43 also liked it a lot, so it's pretty much for everyone, but NOT a family movie with kids under 13.

There is a little about shooting and stuff VERY LITTLE NOT AT ALL A LOT, so if your not into that, this may be slightly wrong for you.

Not one of my favorite movies, but almost there, and TOTALLY worth watching!

Elisabeth could have showed more character.

Besides that, the movie felt so realistic.

Almost the same as my experience.

And for some reason I felt the main character was JJ. 💁

Although the leads are very easy on the eye, the overall plot was a disappointment.

A story line that has been done umpteen times, girl from good family meets boy from bad, however, in this case it got lost and confused.... This is a shame, because it started with promise, and ended with as a confused disappointment.

There needed to be more story and character development......and there was time, the movie is just on 1 hour 30.... The leads are so easy to look at 2 hours would have been not a problem. If we could have had more exploration around the final scenes with buddies mates and then the ending, which is total confusion, maybe the story wouldn't have got so 'lost'.

Overall i kinda liked it, but with a Netfilx budget a few adjustments here and there could have made this movie even more pleasing on the eye.

Its a good youth love story and different cultures meet.

Worth your time Check it out.
