At least half the population will ADORE this film.

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2008)

Well... for a start there is no gun crime, sci-fi, zombies, foul mouthery, retribution, death, all action heroes, no football, coming of age buddyism or car chases...of which personally I have had up to here.
...JUST fantasy romance at any age, handsome older guys, lovely locations, full-on hyper intense colour and light, dancing to infectious tunes, joie de vivre, faces that are smiling, beautiful Swedish textiles, girl fun singalongs, and nostalgia in multi-coloured spades.
One for the girls night out together at long bloody last!. How long we have waited. Years and Years and Years. I suspect the explosive success of this film is strongly related to a cry of relief from more than half the population.
