      Ruthe Stein San Francisco Chronicle [A] difficult but ultimately rewarding film. Rated: 3/4 May 6, 2005 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Involving and sometimes comically bleak but never fully convincing as drama. Rated: 2/4 Apr 29, 2005 Full Review Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times Vituperation can be cleansing, but only in smaller doses than the ones offered up here. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 24, 2005 Full Review Blake French Filmcritic.com holds the audience at an uncomfortable distance. Rated: 3/5 Jul 24, 2008 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Has a lot to say about urban life, and it's beautifully filmed and acted. But it's so relentlessly miserable and serious that it's not easy to watch. Rated: 3/5 Sep 30, 2005 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon In short, fans of bleak Scandinavian drama are in for something of a treat. Rated: 3/5 Sep 24, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member [A] difficult but ultimately rewarding film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member So many quality idiosyncrasies from the variety of characters that its almost impossible not to laugh, not to reflect, and most importantly, not to like! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member ..rakt igenom storartat skådespeleri i en helt trovärdig men osannolik film! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts really slow, ten minutes in and i thought it was going to be one of those 'this is real life and real life is miserable' type of films... but if you fight the early temptation to switch off (my finger was literally on the button) you'll be decently rewarded... complex and interesting characters and stories intertwine to make a very worthwhile movie... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Realistic descriptions of different kind of middle age crisis. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for a swedish movie. Good acting. Crazy swedes and all happy endings. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
