Great acting by the cast. Great writing. Great dialogue. There are a couple of unforgettable scenes that made my day.

This film gives the viewer a realistic glimpse of what can happen inside a marriage--the challenges, the frustration, the disappointments that the couple have to contend with as they try to make the marriage work as they raise a family. The viewer easily sees himself/herself in those scenes and relate with the characters intimately in a vicarious way.

It seems primarily the story of the male lead as he grapples with the demands of being married and raising a family, and realizing he hasn't done much for the marriage and family. And the realization hits him hard.

Such a situation happens to many of us. And the male viewer develops some kind of kinship with him.

This Swedish film deserves your time and attention.
