Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 08/16/2013
3/5
This is another whip-smart Scandinavian noir: slightly uncomfortable in its own skin, perhaps, but no less compelling for it. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge London Evening Standard 08/16/2013
4/5
Even the good guys have a vampiric air about them. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 08/15/2013
3/5
If this is based on fact then why not make a documentary, naming names? Well, it is food for thought. Go to Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail 09/13/2013
4/5
Grey hair, hedonism and exploitation are colliding at every turn. Go to Full Review Stefan Pape HeyUGuys 08/19/2013
3.5/5
Though an ultimately shallow piece of filmmaking - and one that is difficult to invest in emotionally - it remains a captivating and enticing piece of cinema. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 08/18/2013
It's overlong and spends too much time on the careers of troubled teenagers recruited from state juvenile institutions before getting to the political nitty-gritty. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E @AlainE 3d A workable rendition of a real prostitution scandal in Sweden that occurred around 1970. Because it involved high ranking politicians it was eventually swept under the proverbial rug, although it involved victimized teenage girls. On Viaplay. See more 08/31/2016 Stylish drama with an excellent emphasis on its 1970's setting in terms of look, sets, costume and hairstyles. Despite the fast editing throughout, the plot is worked through at a very pedestrian pace. See more 01/31/2016 Long-winding, loose, unfocused & stray. See more 10/31/2014 I got so bored. ONe ould have cut easily 45 minutes off the film and still get the same boring result. Maybe this film said something to the swedes, but if you did not know anything about the specific "bordellhärvan", well... you just got bored. See more 07/09/2014 Long , but not boring ...interesting caracters , maybe i was better born in the early 60's or sooner ! See more 03/12/2014 Finely crafted film with natural performances, has a great feel for the era and an uneasy atmosphere. See more Read all reviews
