This movie promises alot since it has borrowed its name from the epic story by V. Moberg. Although some of the characters from his book are in the film, this is another story, which is much much thinner.
Maybe it is unfair to compare with the books or the original movies from the 70s but I think this story really sucks. Filming and audio is better than the original so I give that an extra star.
Also, when you got the opportunity to make this film, you cast people with a strong, totally wrong swedish dialect that makes no sense, also, both Karl-Oskar and Kristina have bad personalities in this movie compared to the original story; removing the very important characters Danjel Andreasson and Robert/Arvid was also a mistake.
