    In "Scorched", revenge, pain and survival have great significance. - Eva Af Geijerstam

    8 / 10

    Incredibly well-made and gripping from the first moment, but horrible in such a raw way that it is difficult to comprehend. - Fredrik Lagnetoft

  • 3. SVT
    8 / 10

    A very engaging and well-acted portrayal of some life destinies in war, which is made even stronger by dramatic twists and that you never know where and when you are. - Jerker Peterson

    8 / 10

    With "Scorched", he makes all the pieces fall into place and creates a film that is simultaneously entertaining, popcorn-thrilling, contemplative, poetic, intelligently discursive, and blazingly critical. - Martin Memet Könick

    6 / 10

    The human tragedies hit the heart and the violence is felt in the stomach. It is a powerful and important film about the world and the cultural clashes that lead to the horrific violence against innocent people and children. - Andreas Samuelson

    Swedish: Shakes more than it touches

  • 6. Nöjesguiden
    5 / 10

    It's written in a convoluted way but you get drawn in deeply. I shudder with discomfort, pout and become angry over morbid injustices. - Kristoffer Viita

    Violent scenes succeed each other and the story rushes forward at a furious pace, as if to avoid feeling, towards a forgiveness that doesn't feel real. - Hedvig Weibull

    Swedish: Nawal's secret is lost in the pursuit of effects

  • 9. Svenska Dagbladet
    No Rating

    A powerful and gripping story of two young people's journey to find their roots.
