2019042 两段病态的关系，两个不懂得放手的女人。这个Happy End太刻意，母亲一爆发一摔东西就释怀了，而女孩离开渣男转手竟找了渣男的高利贷债主？

第一部看的瑞典片。从北欧回来的飞机上看的，我以后还会再去那里吗，不知道了。

Watched on finnair flight from Helsinki to Reykjavík.

Katerine said, I liked the film because it does not have a very happy end.

像是看到了Cristian Mungiu，不会引导你的思想，只会让你从头到尾的冷静思考。

金融危机整个北欧也震荡的厉害，失业率很高，这些失业的人会怎样？这是部本来可以走心的电影，老年人克制寡淡沉稳，靠话疗，年轻人消极抑郁分手，靠性疗，有些人自伤，有些人伤人。片子太冷静太克制了，只看到生活的横切面，看不到独到的观点和见解，靠时间和亲情抚平一切这招太平庸了。★★★
