Tonight the review is a bit late, but nonetheless I'm watching "Åkes nya vän" with Emil Eriksson and Anton Liu Wie Chien. It's a Swedish movie about a lonely guy who finds a new friend on the street - literally.

The movie starts out slow, but the pacing really builds up the atmosphere of a small town where there's not really much to do. The actors are very good and they are amazing as the two unexpected friends and the filming and editing really bring to life the everyday situations that the pair ends up in.

Overall, this is a nice family movie, although it can be a tearjerker, that really shows how important it is to have a friend and what we all can learn from each other. It is well made and fits almost everyone, except maybe for the very young, as it contains one scene that might be considered a bit too frightening for really young audiences. I give this beautiful and heart-warming drama 4/5 points.

Tonight I'm reviewing "rånet" by kiim137. The plot revolves around two troubled young men named Håkan and Osama, who are in desperate need of money and decide to rob a store.

The plot is very well-written and the characters feel very realistic. It's easy to feel close to the duo and the people they encounter. The music and editing is decent, but what the movie does best is depicting the dramatic downward spiral of two victims of society as they delve deeper and deeper into a life of criminalty and violence, yet without ever losing hope. The setting is also given a lot of thought.

In summary, rånet is a dramatic movie that should not be mistaken for comedy because of the heavy subjects and themes, but it is also a very relatable and sometimes even heartwarming depiction of two average joes doing their best. It is very bittersweet. I give it 5/5.

First up is "En vanlig dag på spåret." directed by Simon and Andreas E. It is in Swedish, but you should still be able to understand the story. It follows a group of friends who are running in the woods when a mysterious person suddenly appears from the shadows.

The story is well written and mixes humour with horror in a balanced way. Filming and editing is well done and the actors do their part without any errors.

Overall, this is a very high quality movie and fits anyone who is in for a fun adventure, but keep in mind that some parts may be frightening for younger audiences. I give it 5 out of 5 points.
