Breaking and Entering

Translated from swedish: "Breaking and Entering" is a somber film with great depth and emotion. It feels almost Bergmanesque in some way with all its bleakness and melancholic atmosphere. Anthony Minghella has successfully woven together the storylines of both families in an elegant manner, and the actors deliver solid performances. Unfortunately, the film feels almost too polished and perfect, making it difficult to connect with the characters on a deeper level.

Translated from swedish: "Breaking and Entering" falls short due to its compromises. The characters don't behave like you and me, and after all the slick and manipulative twists, it becomes clear that Minghella has written himself and his characters into a corner – which he then has to compromise his way out of.

Translated from swedish: This time, director Anthony Minghella has chosen to write the screenplay himself. This isn't about destructive passions or hidden crimes, but rather about more everyday crises of middle age and the middle class.
