Wild Strawberries

ALL ALONG THE LINE, THERE'S NOTHING BUT COLD AND DEATH AND LONELINESS

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:

  • Winter Barry
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
    Rating: 2

  • Martha Keller
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.
    Rating: 2

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

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

  • Sky Chase
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
