The polarized society is the life for a group of strong wills with a lot of humor and a call to defend democracy: with dialogue as a weapon. The film provides a unique insight into a professional group that has a seemingly impossible task.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: The press release about the film states: "The Dialogue Police shows that conversation beats handcuffs every day of the week". I'm not entirely sure that's the case, but the film's message revolves around this question. And that's more than enough. It gets us thinking and talking.

4 / 6
Translated from swedish: Filmmaker Susanna Edwards has followed police officers whose patience seems infinite. But after 90 minutes with rowdy soccer hooligans and environmental activists, it's easy to feel disheartened.

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: In an increasingly authoritarian age where police in many countries are beginning to resemble the military, "Dialogpolisen" shows that there are alternatives to this development.
