Den sista resan

This movie is gutwrenching, beautiful, tragic, hopeful, pessimistic, optimistic and funny at times.

This is in my eyes one of the best swedish films i've seen in a good while and by far the most beautiful i can think of.

This movie made me speechless for almost an hour after seeing it, it singlehandedly made me rethink how i see documentaries. It made me fear getting older and the concept of aging in an important matter.

The overall beauty of this film is not just because of the lovely characters and heartwarming nostalgia but also the incredible camerawork, colorgrading and music the film uses.

I think most people should watch this film just to experience the struggle of aging and losing spark.

I am a 31-year-old Swedish man. I have seen many TV programs that Filip and Fredrik have made and it is always about humor. In this film you get to see a new side of them that I haven't seen before, especially Filip. A very caring, kind and empathetic side that touched me deeply.

Filip's father has become depressed and lost his zest for life. Filip and Fredrik take him on a drive to France to relive old memories and hopefully rekindle his zest for life. I have struggled with depression in my life and know how terrible it is, and can therefore relate to a lot of what Filip's father is going through.

There is so much love in this movie. It shows the love between a father and his son. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking, optimistic and pessimistic and funny but serious, at the same time. It really shows the importance of living in the present, to appreciate life and each other, but also to appreciate the life you had and all the memories.

My head hurt after the movie ended because I cried so much. One of the most important and moving films I have seen. A beautiful masterpiece that everyone should watch.

My expectations were quite high after reading some reviews, but also from the duos own constant promotions for it in their podcast which became "a bit" much. As a podcast listener for many years, I am quite well informed about Filips family - including his fathers situation.

In many ways it was a nice idea for a film and it's hard not to feel with Lars's situation. I think he's a wonderful man. I do however agree with one of the reviewers it feels a little forced. Many scenes did not need Filip showing the audience how we should feel. I don't doubt that Filip loves his father and that he wants the best for him, but some of his rather forced emotions just ruins the moment for me. I fully get that it is movie and not a documentary - but this mix didn't really work for me personally. I don't understand how it can review so highly - perhaps it's just me that's odd.

The good thing is that Filip/Fredrik can donate a large part of their proceeds from this film. It is a large financial success with relatively low production costs, An idea would be to causes related to aging or elderly in Sweden getting better care and opportunities. THAT would squash any views about this feeling a little opportunistic. It would also be more in line with their political ideology and views, something that they share freely in their podcast. I'm not holding my breath.

With warmth, love, laughter and sorrow this documentary shows the complexity when generations age and how they react on the changes.

A true love story between a father and his son and between friends. A story that gives both hope and despair.

The interaction between father and son and between the two friends (Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson) is genuine and empathetic.

Authentic story with no acting, just real life. The beauty of France is included and it's a pleasure to see the views.

Strong, colourful and emphatic creation that shows how turning back time can be both painful and hopeful at the same time.

It's an absolute masterpiece. What a gem of a movie. Tears, laughter, bitterness, kindness and everything between. Made me look at aging and retirement from many new angles. What a journey. It's also very well put together, the flow of the movie is just spot on, the cutting room really outdid themselves this time. It's for sure the best Swedish movie ever made and, for me, it was the best movie of all time. My guess is it will just blow the competition away at next year's Oscars, since it's Swedish. I guess it can "only" win the category for best foreign movie. Might be wrong here tho? Anyway, it's a must-see.
