There are not a lot of films made about average people leading average lives, and maybe that is what makes Eat Sleep Die so refreshing. Go to Full Review

It's far too long and sags throughout, but this is a simple story well told, and the timing couldn't be better. Go to Full Review

11/30/2014 A film where we follow a young East European immigrant working at a food factory in Sweden. It got a great vibe and it feels very believeable, almost like a documentary at times. Well acted, well paced and it stays interesting. It's not especially original and I feel I have seen this before - the everyday struggle and the culture clashes. All right sub-plots and you do feel with the lead that does her job very well. So, it has the authenticity tory, the characters and a relevant setting. But it's get's a tiny bit tiring after a while. 6.5 out of 10 fire extinguishers. See more 09/02/2014 Never seen a movie quite like it. See more 02/23/2014 Employment and unemployment, immigration, and assimilation in Sweden. Punctures the American fantasy about the easy life on the dole in Europe. Nermina Lukac delivers a great performance. See more 01/16/2014 Eat Sleep Die features a topic that's overlooked by mostly everybody: the problems of getting job and the horrible feeling of being laid off of a job because of union issues. The film tells the story of two Arabic immigrants that have been living in Sweden for more than 20 years, a father and his daughter. Besides telling a whole new aspect of the life in Sweden, we get to see a glimpse of the daily routine of the european lower class. And something quite important: the sacrifices they have to make to keep their jobs, which you can lose any day when your stay depends on the union. A slow but realistic and original film. See more 09/20/2013 It isn't that memorable, but it's not a dull experience. See more 04/06/2013 Another kitchen-sink movie about the hottest society topics right now. not bad, but not good either because how disgusting it is when the the state is funding all the movies and forcing the director and the screenplay writer to follow a blueprint of stereotypical views just to so all people could understand the movie...
