Really good!

Definitely worth watching and definitely something new from Swedish Netflix, something they don't do very often!Amazing acting and writing! Feels very authentic with abit of humour in it.It gets better and better, abit confusing and moving too fast in the beginning and many threads and thoughts to have in your mind, but gets much better the last hour.I really recommend it!

Bureaucratic vigilante movie

Often, movies about bureaucratic change are very slow burn, serious and overly dramatized. This is superbly paced, well acted, perfectly cast and action packed (as far as bureaucracy goes) with a great touch of humour. Doesn't get boring because of the great pacing and was a very satisfying watch. I felt that I was watching a bureaucratic vigilante movie and enjoying every second.PS: If you have any experience in bureaucracy, watch it!

Beyond my expectations

I went into this film with pretty low expectations, mainly because Swedish productions can be a bit hit or miss. But I was genuinely surprised. This turned out to be one of the better Swedish films I've seen.The story was engaging from the start and it didn't take long before I felt completely invested. The pacing worked well, and the film managed to keep my attention throughout. It felt interesting and immersive rather than slow or forced, which is something I sometimes struggle with in Swedish films.While it didn't quite reach a "wow" level for me, it was definitely solid and worth watching. If you're looking for something engaging and well-made, I'd recommend giving it a shot.
