Kjell Bergqvist good. movie? little worse.

Kjell Bergqvist is one of the good actors in Sweden, i almost like him every movie...except the movie "Besökarna". Henrik Lundström from the Oscar nominated "Ondskan"(One of the best Swedish movie) makes a good performance, but there is also a lot of unknown actors who makes an awful performance. There is some bright moments in this film, and the movie is based on a true story, a kind of interesting story, if i must say, but still, the story fades. This movie should be a little of a comedy, than a drama. Thers is some comedy in this movie, but they could change the story a little bit. The Budget is really low, but they makes it look so good, so thats worth some points.

I only gave this a 5 because the movie is only good once, or twice, but it kind of doesn't hold on to me. But, see it, and make your on decision.
