CGiii Comment

A good, old-fashioned lesbian love story...not.

Mia is a high-maintenance, ever-slappable, stroppy brat - made worse by some sub-standard acting - something that affects the whole film...by most cast members.

The lingering stares to denote attraction are...pathetic.

Keining's direction is laden with unnecessary 'scenic' views...linking all the scenes together - it gets a little tiresome after a while...all it proves it a remarkable lack of imagination and technical innovation.

A pedestrian story made worse by pedestrian writing and direction.

The(ir) Blurb...

MIA (Ruth Vega Fernandez) and FRIDA (Liv Mjönes), both in their thirties, meet each other for the first time at their parents' engagement party. Mia's father, Lasse (Krister Henriksson), is about to get married to Frida's mother, Elizabeth (Lena Endre), which will make Mia and Frida stepsisters. Lasse's daughter, Mia, has not visited her father in years and arrives with her boyfriend, Tim (Joakim Nätterqvist), with whom she is about to get married. As Mia and Frida get to know one another, strong emotions begin to stir between them. Their relationship will turn everything upside down for everyone close to them with dramatic consequences.
