      Michelle da Silva Georgia Straight 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. May 3, 2017 Full Review Shaun Munro What Culture It's far too long and sags throughout, but this is a simple story well told, and the timing couldn't be better. Rated: 3/5 Oct 13, 2012 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly typical kitchen-sink European drama... Rated: 2/4 Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Never seen a movie quite like it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It isn't that memorable, but it's not a dull experience. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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...
