Good presentation by Arrow of a dated curiosity
The film is a bit contrived, it tries too hard to make things weird.

Coming of age film from Sweden
Emotionally filled film with unexpected sense of humor that can catch you off guard. Little boy referencing rudeness of an old woman as a "menopause" problems got me laugh out loud everytime with his delivery. Love Arrow for this one even more than ever. Looking for some more coming of age movies from Arrow in the near future. Don´t miss this opportunity to own this film on Bluray!!!
