10 / 10
Translated from swedish: If you ask me, I say that this is a movie that you should see during your lifetime, and I'm not just saying that because it's one of my favorites, but because it's a very good movie.

10 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Prisoners" is free from special effects and other nonsense that has spread like an epidemic among contemporary directors in Hollywood who can't find the brake pedal, and is an excellent example of what can be achieved with that insight; it doesn't take much to create a creepy, repulsive, and immensely exciting work - Denis Villeneuve, I salute you!

Translated from swedish: "Prisoners" is poetic, unsettling, and slow-paced.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: The gripping tension in the film is built up like the winding of a spring in a music box. Thousands of clues reveal heartbreaking human destinies. And as the pace increases, a darker and more horrific resolution is revealed than anyone could have imagined.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: The film, which contains some extremely unpleasant scenes, consists of confrontations. Eye to eye. Man to man. Secrets are waiting to surface.

4 / 10
Translated from swedish: I feel a bit left out of the choir of praise that says these issues are so "complex".

Translated from swedish: The darkness lies heavy and the frost bites as well as the difficult theme. It hurts.
