First off, if you don't want to be bothered reading my entire comment, here is the summary with two words: UTTER NONSENSE!!!
I didn't find ANYTHING in this movie. Wait.. In this what? Movie? Hell no, if this is a movie, then I'm the queen of England. It's a video shot by a semi-professional cameraman, filled with pointless dialogues which consist of nonsensical rubbish. It doesn't deliver the feeling of porn, it doesn't deliver the feeling of depression, it doesn't doesn't doesn't....!!!! All it does manage is to bore the hell out of the viewer by showing absolutely nothing.
Where are the characters? Where is the story? The answer is: They're not subtly hidden, they simply don't exist. Either way, you hardly have time to look for them while you're busy looking for the sophistication and the art that qualifies a video as a "movie", which you'll never find in this so called feature.
The sad thing is, this feature is brought by my favourite director, Lukas Moodysson. I can't believe he's done something oh so very bad! Seriously, the video of your niece's 15th birthday party would certainly be more profound than this film, by all means. The acting isn't bad though, but why? Simply because there is nothing to act! This movie reminds me of the football teams who never succeed in spite of their expensively established squad. Everyone involved has some sort of quality to show, but the lack of a team soul ruins everything. They have no common goal other than making money, how would they achieve anything? Same goes for this movie, the actors are acting what's given to them, but what's given to them is apparently dogmatic as the bible, yet empty and pointless as a teenager's blog.
I happened to read the earlier comments. Should I laugh or should I cry? Where is the brilliance in this flick? If it's brilliant to manage to hold the camera without imposing any story at all, then yes, it's fabulous. But that's not brilliance, that's just dullness and weakness. Shooting a movie like this isn't much more complicated than taking a shower, I'm so very disappointed by Moodysson.
The only reason I'm giving 1/10 to this movie is that it is not allowed to give 0.
