Textbook study for characterisation. Although some people have commented on the ending being somehow unrealistic, it is perfectly within the parameters of the character established in the first scene. It is in fact this surprising, but consequential character development which makes the film brilliant. While it may be depressing, it tells the harsh reality of life for many people and just how far our failings in the supposed 'idealistic' life that is laid before us can push the human Psyche. The film is superbly acted, and the shot composition from Moodysson serves each scene brilliantly, especially in establishing each scene - not overly pretentious as you may expect from the material, but he lets the substance of the material speak for itself. Nice short, especially for film study.
