4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Bernhard Wenger's feature film debut, which invites comparisons to both Yorgos Lanthimos and Ruben Östlund's films, is smart, visually distinctive and dryly absurdist tragicomedy about status hunting, fake facades, vulnerability and lack of human connection in the age of social media. With a flawless performance by Schuch and a brilliant, redemptive final scene.

Positive, no rating
Translated from swedish: The film is a humorous satire of our modern society, and just as the director himself has pointed out, it's not at all impossible that something similar could arise even in Europe. Who wouldn't want the opportunity to boost their reputation among friends by renting the perfect son or impress their classmates by hiring an airline pilot as a dad?
