A bad movie

What the hell happened to Lukas Moodysson?!? After directing the impressive 'Fucking Åmål' and the even better 'Lilja 4-ever' , the guy was hailed as the new great Swedish director but, suddenly, I didn't hear much from him anymore. Finally, after many years, I came accross this follow-up and I got intrigued but I must admit that I was a little concerned by the surprising low rating on IMDB. Eventually, it turned out to be one of most unpleasant movies I have ever watched. Indeed, it looked terrible, the characters were just increasingly vapid and unlikable and the actors gave some really pathetic performances. Of course, there was no plot whatsoever and the whole thing was pretty much at the level of an agonizing and pretentious home video involving 4 terrible and pathetic persons stuck into a filthy appartment. They also added some supposedly shocking and disgusting scenes and this mix was pretty much impossible to swallow. Sure, there must have been some artistic goal involved here and it was probably the whole point that the viewers should feel disgust and discomfort while watching this but it was seriously lost on me and it is not very often that you come accross a director throwing away his whole career like that with such a misguided project. Anyway, to conclude, I actually think I'm being really generous with my rating, it is a terrible movie and you should seriously avoid it.

4/10
