Reviews on movie UFO Sweden (4)

In 1988, a Swedish UFO seeker, along with his little daughter, whom he calls a “satellite”, discovers patterns in weather reports and goes to a mapped location where, in his opinion, an unidentified object may appear. This is a very short episode, and the events are transferred to 1996, when eight years after his mysterious disappearance, Denise’s daughter has already grown up and is obsessed with the idea of finding a dad who, in her opinion, was taken by aliens.
Denise faces a public misunderstanding (which made fun of her father), especially the blinkered mind of police officer Tomi (who looks like an Indian). Tomi is the most insidious character: pretending to take care of Denise and save from the colony for minors, the police officer now and then puts the girl in the wheels, doing her job as a cop. And to investigate Tomi was that, because the brilliant teenager Denise, together with a group of UFO freaks, trying to find the necessary information, repeatedly violated the law.
Beautiful, photogenic little-known Swedish actress Inez Dal Turhaug (who played a teenager Denise) adorns this film, and here I would draw an analogy with another young talented actress Sophia Lillis from the film It (about an evil clown with a red ball). In both cases, the movie did not catch me, but watched until the end only thanks to cute and very photogenic actresses, all their appearance radiating positive energy.
For most of the film, the characters ran from the police. There have been only two UFO episodes, the first one very short and very dubious, and the second one has no special relation to UFOs. Therefore, in my opinion, this is not a film about UFOs or aliens (like Arrival or Signs), but rather a movie about how the search for extraterrestrials by ordinary people is hampered by a wall of misunderstanding, disbelief, fear and a banal lack of necessary data that is in the hands of research institutions, and even under the protection of the police. Since this movie is partly children's, here the characters find a way out of a predicament. When, as in life, with a high degree of probability, everything could have turned out differently and much more tragic.

This is my first review.

I write it because of the low score on Kinopoisk, especially when compared in the ratings of imdb.

The film is not as chic as Hollywood can, it contains field shooting, a minimum of chromakey and a good plot.
The line of interaction between the characters shows why young people make discoveries more and more often than accomplished members of society, specialists in their fields. You can also see how good relationships can collapse on the way to achieving the goal, and in general, what kind of wood can be broken.
The search for UFOs does lead to unexpected results, it is interesting to watch the development of the main storyline. Although, I wonder who... adult there are few special effects for children and to understand the essence of the process of age 12+ is not enough. To finish another year 4-5 and then it will be at the very point, by the way, and did in Hungary, when put the age category.
In the film there is no violence and love scenes, nude natures, hints of a modern agenda. There is an idea and a desire to get to the truth, despite the obstacles.
Swedish cinema is quite original and recognizable.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2009 TV Series The Bridge Now in the piggy bank of a pleasant movie I will add this work.

The little girl's father investigates the pattern of weather changes, believing that they depend on the appearance of UFOs. After his disappearance, after a while, the grown-up girl tries to continue her father’s research.
Oddly enough, but for all its fantastic component and the presence of a number of elements of fiction, the film is not about UFOs and their study. This element is most likely present only to attract the viewer, since the main theme of the film is the relationship between people and whether it is worth sacrificing everything for the sake of achieving your goals. Does the goal justify the means, and it is necessary to know the main character?
In fact, the authors of the film manage to engage the viewer in the search for UFOs, gradually transferring the film from a version of the X-Files (Mulder/sister line) to the drama of lonely people / children who feel deceived / misunderstood, but at the same time believe that the truth is somewhere near. But is it necessary and is it worth the effort and consequences?
The disadvantage of the film is not even that some twists of the plot are attracted by the ears - the same instant hacking of the station and ignorance of the basic basics of computer security; penetration into the institute and instantaneous ability to use specialized programs, etc. The problem is that this film will not be interesting for teenagers, as it makes you think about the consequences of your actions, and the “exciting” component is quite weak – any adaptation of comic books is much more interesting and without loads. And the older generation – very banal storyline, despite the fantastic “lots”. Some of them are also quite “wise”.
The result: a teenage drama against the background of adventure/fantastic themes. Negative emotions does not cause, but it is difficult to recommend to view fans of pure fiction.
