TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 15 Swede Caroline is an absolutely ridiculous documentary film that takes a harmless vegetable growing competition and treats it like a life destroying crime. The entire movie revolves around people growing giant gourds and accusing each other of cheating, and it is honestly embarrassing how seriously everyone involved takes it. Instead of being amusing or insightful, the film comes across as petty, mean spirited, and completely out of touch with what makes a documentary engaging. From a filmmaking standpoint, it is poorly put together. The pacing drags, the editing feels sloppy, and there is no emotional hook that makes you care about any of the people on screen. The attempts at humor do not land, and the supposed scandal never feels important or compelling enough to justify the runtime. Ultimately, Swede Caroline feels like a joke that went on far too long. It is dull, frustrating, and unentertaining, and it fails to justify why this story needed to be told to anyone watching at all!

Part Christopher Guest style Mockumentary and part Coen Brothers Noir Thriller, all wrapped up hilariously in an English B film. If you're a fan of off-beat humor give this one a whirl. Best enjoyed with a nice Cab. See more John W Apr 27 The run time for a comedy should be about 80 minutes, This runs for 98 minutes and it seems a lot longer. The plot is complicated and the extra footage tends to slow-down the main story. Putting the camara onto a tripod would have helped; wobbly shots do not improve story-telling. The sound recording was poor and the diague was unclear. Sometimes you gave-up trying to understand what was happening. See more Frances W 12/15/2024 So disappointed. This had a great cast and the first three minutes with the voxpops from the competition were excellent and I thought it we were looking at something of the calibre of Best in Show. But then it meandered around in an incredibly boring way, with a nonsensical plot with no character development. Plus it broke its own rules regarding the mockumentary format, and the vegetable pun in the title didn’t even make sense as there were no swedes. I kept waiting for the great Alice Lowe who features predominantly in the titles but even she could not save it with her pointless 30 second cameo See more Jacob M 10/24/2024 Swede Caroline is a brilliantly crafted mockumentary ( a genre that has been lacking in new and original films as of recently). The film blends charm with.sharp humor to create a comedic yet endearing film. As absurd as the concept of a missing giant vegetable is the film knows how to balance its absurdist nature with truly heartfelt moments. The actors did an impeccable job and there comedic timing was spot on. There might be nothing better than a movie that is simultaneously able to provide you with laugh while also keeping you enthralled in the characters and mystery at play. A film that I believe will turn into a cult-classic in the years to come and will hopefully get the recognition and appreciation it so well deserves. See more Read all reviews
