Tough, rough and totally worth it

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2010)

One of the stronger films, that the Scandinavians have produced in recent years. And I must admit- one of the best (if not the best) movie that I've seen lately.
"Girl with a dragon tattoo" definitely has some rough scenes and certainly can't be called "light Hollywood-like entertainment", but that's one of the things that make this film so particularly appealing.
It's done rather simply, it isn't flashy. But the scenery itself is beautiful enough, and the actors have a certain look to them, a different approach to acting- those things combined create a fresh, vibrant experience.
I wouldn't recommend this film if you're looking just for fun, light, relaxing evening movie. However, it isn't exactly the regular usually depressing and mentally demanding European film either. All in all- it's a film, that should be watch by every film lover.
