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.

Reviews:

  • Briggs Perez
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Athena Bradley
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Richard Velez
    Surprisingly good! I didn't expect much, but the twists and emotional depth really pulled me in.

    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
