Name: Miraklet i Viskan
Genre: Drama
Released: 2015-04-17
Duration: 1 h 46 min
Rating: 5.1
Cast: Rolf Lassgård, Lia Boysen, Evelina Alexandersson

Despite passing performances by Rolf Lassgård as Bjarne and Lia Boysen as Malin, which in both cases probably is to be expected, this simple story doesn't give much room for deeper explorations of the characters. The story is told and that's that. The rest of the actors also put in OK efforts. Nothing really moved me, though there wasn't anything particularly embarrassing or really badly performed, as quite a few Swedish films these days can bring with them.

The story can possibly be seen as an allegory of Swedish Christianity and some people may like that even if that particular subject is not explored very much. If this or a simple Swedish story of little significance can't be of interest, then this movie is not something one has to see. I wish I hadn't wasted the time.

Swedish cinema is renowned for psychological depth, austere beauty, and philosophical inquiry. It often focuses on existential questions and societal critique, marked by a stark visual approach. In contemporary times, it has also developed a sharp satirical edge in examining social issues.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

Mahershala Ali and Alex R. Hibbert in Moonlight (2016)

Bjarne runs a moving company together with his wife Malin, but it goes bad and they need to borrow money. Bjarnes father-in-law Halvar lives nearby. The two have never been in agreement which is based on a 20-year old conflict.
