Min pappa Marianne

I find this film brilliant. It convincingly tells the navigation of identity and sexuality of the transgender person, and the subsequent identity negotiation of family members. It is touching, real, and authentic. I recommend this to everyone.

The story per se is an interesting story BUT the ONLY acting worth to watch is on Rolf Lassgård . And I really don't understand why Swedish directors are so bad? Far too many Swedish movies are directed in such painfully poor outcome. Yuck!! Just like my English writing I guess. I'm swede.

The score on this film is ridiculous. The film is really both unfunny and quite nasty. I was expecting a sweet story, nd not a story filled with stupid characters acting awkward.

OK if the story is a not very likely story to happen, but even worse is it that this film is very unfunny. It's a feel-bad movie in the disguise of a feelgood movie.

Not even two of the bes actors in sweden were able to save this. Nor did they try.

What has happened to Sweden as a film making country!?

This movie has gotten rather good reviews, and I struggle to understand why. It's trying to be witty and insightful, but it falls flat with bad, shallow acting and a predictable plot. The movie is trying to convey the message that transvestites (and I would assume people in general) should be accepted as they are by society, and that's all well and good, but it lacks a deeper meaning. Rolf Lassgård, Lene Endre, Nour El-Refai and Ralph Carlsson all give solid performances, but with the rest of the cast I'm left wondering what I'm really watching. Hedda Stiernstedt's character is behaving more like a spoiled fourteen-year-old than the twenty-eight-year-old woman she is meant to portray, and the villagers are extremely plastic and unreal. I guess that "Min pappa Marianne" is watchable if you have some time to kill, but for me it's nothing more than that. Because of the aforementioned reasons, I really can't rate this movie higher than four stars out of ten.

Rolf lassgård is oustanding in this film and should have won the guldbagge price here in sweden for it.

The movie it'self is filled with emotion as we see a life crise from Both the father and Daughter turn into something beautiful in the end!

Lena Endre is also great as always and to play the Wife to a man that turn into a woman is a hard acting and she proofs that she is a professional.

Hedda Steirnstedt is phenominal in the role playing the daughter who has a life crise of her own with trying to get her dream job but fail in a way, and the love life is not great for her.

But back to Hedda who is a great in this movie and a mewborn swedish movie Star!
