      Annalee Schafranek Bitch Media My favorite Swedish import. Dec 18, 2020 Full Review Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times Sinister but gorgeous and compelling. Oct 7, 2013 Full Review Bruce Diones New Yorker A remarkably moving horror tale, about a pale, bullied twelve-year-old boy (Kåre Hedebrant) and his first love (Lina Leandersson), who happens to be a vampire. Oct 7, 2013 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Isolating and bare, Let the Right One In combines appropriate uses of setting and story to tell an affecting drama rich in pathos. Rated: 3/4 Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Chilling in more ways than one, this Swedish import uses its frozen environment to great advantage. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Kyle Turner them. With uncompromising beauty and tenderness, director Tomas Alfredson lets his characters find resilience and strength in one another as they navigate a cruel and unwelcoming world.
