The Human Solution

This movie is a piece of work everyone should experience. It forces you to reflect on society as a whole and how the choices we make impact the human experience. It's a beautifully made film and is one of those movies that sticks with you long after the credits finish.

The Human Solution is a compelling story of what happens when governments decide to arbitrate who is worthy and who is not. A heart-wrenching story that will stay with you and force you to ask yourself -"How could this happen?". Vega has thrust us into the discussion about the practice of eugenics through her beautifully filmed and directed cast of characters. A must see!

This film first drew my interest when I saw it had been given permission to use the Reframe stamp, meaning it has demonstrated success in being a gender balanced production. When it started though, I was quickly taken by the visuals. the camera work is great, it is a really good looking film.

While Starting in pre-World War 2 Sweden and running into the 1950s, the subject matter is timely and relevant globally, and even today in the United States given recent revelations.

Without giving too many spoilers, Dr. August Persson works as a surgeon supporting a Government program. When he decides to raise a child that is not his after his estranged wife dies in child birth, his world is turned upside down when his daughter becomes entangled in the very program he is part of.

There are great performances by the leads - Dr Perrson and his daughter Elin, but also some scene stealers in the supporting cast. The assistant to the Minister and the Nurse ooze drama and suspense even in brief appearances. Dr. Persson's son Gustav also shines in his scenes.

Part Historical family drama, but more so, a timeless harrowing story of a man who is forced to confront decades of his past and his worldview, but only after he is personally affected. I will be looking for more from this filmmaker.

Really interesting film. It is very well made, great acting and I love films with a bit of meaning behind them. This is based around actual events and highlights what seems a problem from the past still being around today.

Really enjoyable and recommended!

This film about a little known ethnic cleansing program deals boldly with the impact of the policy on individuals and their families. It is a gripping and sensitive story. The locations and costume perfectly recreate the stiffness of the post WW2 period. Well acted and sensitively told, this movie was let down by poor editing and some clunky direction. Nevertheless it is a powerful evocation of the inhumanity of enforced sterilisation.
