Commentary |
Filmtipset.se: This film tells about
what happens when two kinds of fathers with different
parenting methods meet to talk seriously about the one
son having bullied the other.
Michael Nyqvist plays the soft-spoken father seeking the
warmth of people. Örjan Ramberg is the physically
hard-hitting and furious father who gives his son a
reward because he gave a black eye to his classmate.
Ramberg is really eerie and gives thoughts of the killer
in "The Silence of the Lambs".
In parallel with the war between the two fathers'
pedagogy and rhetoric, we follow how the sons meet in
the waiting car outside. What initially is pure bullying
leads through various credible paths to something
similar to friendship. |
