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.

As real life reality documentaries go, this is a real gem.

Filips father Lars, who is elderly and depressed, is treated to a 'last trip' to his beloved France by his son.

Using recordings from the past, super-8 films mixed with reality-style captures we are taken on an emotional father-son journey on multiple levels.

You have the actual trip but also the emotional journey taken by Filip and his father. We can se the love between a father and a son, and we can see how the son becomes the father, as the father becomes the son.

Lars slowly awakens and for the first time in many years, starts to live again.

This is a heart warming and beautiful story that is rare and it reminds us what family is, or can be.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, and the first time that I have given a top rating to a movie.

Even the day after watching it, it made me shed tears just thinking about some parts of it. There is something very genuine and good about Lars. He is a person with a pure heart, and you can clearly see it in this movie. It's hard to see a person like Lars come to age even for a stranger, so seeing Filip's frustration about the situation makes me understand him a lot, and feel empathy for both of them.

I have been a fan of Filip and Fredrik for a long time and always appreciated their work, but still I didn't expect this at all. This one is a masterpiece.

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.

I didn't know what to expect from this movie. The film has been in the theaters for a while. The film will be Sweden's Oscar contribution to the Oscars in 2025. Normally I do not like Filip and Fredrik, they are very loud and rowdy on their shows on TV. Figured I'd at least give it a chance, so I'll went and checked it out. My God, what a surprise I got. A film that is so moving with so much joy, laughter, tears and pure emotional experience. Got completely warm in the heart. I am so glad I went and watched the movie. I'm afraid to repeat myself, but this movie is probably the best movie I've seen this year. Have seen so many good movies this year. 2024 is a successful year for film indeed. You feel happy in the soul to walk out of the cinema with a big smile on your face. Enjoy, laugh, cry and feel the joy after watching this movie. This experience was worth every second of the movie. Watch the movie now.
