Wild Strawberries

Crotchety retired doctor Isak Borg travels from Stockholm to Lund, Sweden, with his pregnant and unhappy daughter-in-law, Marianne, in order to receive an honorary degree from his alma mater. Along the way, they encounter a series of hitchhikers, each of whom causes the elderly doctor to muse upon the pleasures and failures of his own life. These include the vivacious young Sara, a dead ringer for the doctor's own first love.

  • Martha Keller
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Megan Wiley
    A visual spectacle with an epic storyline. The special effects were mind-blowing.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
