I don't know if I can recommend this movie to any people who aren't Scandinavian cause I'm not sure that non-Scandis can relate to the movie or the dry humour in all honesty.
But if you are a Swede like me, and you like enjoyed the TV-series 'Blomstertid' like me (which this is a follow up to but still a standalone movie , if that makes sense) then yeah you should check it out for sure.
The format is exactly like the TV-series (except 90 minutes instead of 24 minute episodes) a faux documentary with the same cast (and some additions of course) as the series, with Petter Magnusson playing all 3 main characters, and he does so very well IMO.
There's not a whole lot to be said about the movie though, it's a character study after all so the events and plots really come secondary, and also don't expect a laugh a minute type of comedy either that's not really what this movie is about.
But yeah I liked it, and it makes me want to re-watch 'Blomstertid' again.

Peter Magnusson does a great job here: Absolutely fantastic, in fact. "Tillbaka till Bromma" shows parts of all of us and us in all our parts. It is very cleverly written. Very cleverly acted. I would assume that those that cannot stomach this is those that cannot stomach themselves: You have to be able to laugh at yourself and your own stupidity, your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your short-comings.
I applaud you Peter Magnusson.
