Love Me

I might have given this an 8 on the impulse, as this is an uplifting movie, a movie depicting a possibility of romantic love at all these different stages of life (youth, middle and end). On every turn, I was expecting a catch, sometimes it seemed that the family is cursed, with all the protagonists not getting any closer to 'normal' / happy state (relatively to what is perhaps considered happy for their respective age). And yet, despite all the difficulties, they end up on a positive, hopeful, uplifting note. Perhaps, their family is not cursed after all. I feel both happy, and yet slightly cheated, as real life should be darker, much darker (and darker in more realistic ways... ). We do need the fairy tales still, the notting hills, the love actuallies, and this.

Perfect in everyway, a masterpice!! The story is fenomenal, acting Great, casting Great, and it has a Great conection with the real world

At last... Swedish production hits the sweet spot.

Josephine Bornebusch elegantly meshes humour with a serious approach to relationships. At times she even touches the complexity of being.

The dry, somewhat sarcastic, humour allows the audience laugh with, rather than at, the characters.

Alska Mig is not a great work of art - but it is skilful craftsmanship and it leaves the impression that Bornebusch may have greatness lurking somewhere in her future.

However, there is an elephant in the room and it has to do with casting. If you can enjoy a film entirely on its own merit; Alska Mig delivers solid value for time spent. If you hold the belief that every filmmaker has a duty beyond the frames, you may develop an itch that is very hard to scratch: The, almost total, lack of ethnic diversity makes little sense and does leave a gnawing question - why?

I loved everything about this show! It made me laugh and it made me cry. Beautifully written and the actors make you connect with these characters. You will fall in love with this family and journey with them through life, love and loss.
