    I loved every moment of as it is in heaven.

    i laughed, cried, feared, recognized myself and others in the characters and just felt so much(!) while watching this movie. it's just so.. human.
    a must-see!

    Excellent movie full of redemptive themes and quite a lot of "Hey, I know someone like that" moments.

    Swedish movie where the dialogue is between grown-ups, as in many words are left unsaid and a question seems to be seeking a connection rather than answers.
    It's refreshing to be allowed to read the change in characters as the story progresses rather than have every thought scripted, as in mainstream movie and TV dramas from the US of A.
    These characters are more real in their humility, rather than boldness, and their convergence in the final concert scene is very moving and all the more believeable.

    This will go down as one of my all time favourites. What makes this a exceptionally endearing piece of art is that through finding you're passions within can lead you to a higher plain. There many movements and wrongs unspoken half-truths committed. But when you're faced with a need to be loved and finding the courage to seek this out. I identified with Daniel's character and anyone that has been the subject of bullying, I'm sure will leave hugging that inner child.

    A rare gift, thank-you.

    This movie should make us all think about the courage to act when a situation occurs that is physically hurting another
    We tend to close our eyes when danger is affecting someone we know so when a community pulls together action can be taken
    Also how music not only heals but can change lives

    A well-worn story but it's nicely handled here, blending high drama and moments of farce with some splendid music and a od love story...
