A kind of quiet Scandinavian cousin (OK, twice removed) to Home Alone, in which patient viewers will find sporadic rewards.
Delivers a satisfying, sun-dappled fable about the kindness of strangers and the cruelty of peers.
The Girl -- a beguiling creation -- bodes well for the future for the helmer and his waif-like star.
Edfeldt and his extraordinary lead actor balance the scales by presenting this tragedy as a test of strength.
The pleasure lies in watching this observant, inventive child prepare to become a future artist before our eyes.
If nothing else, see The Girl to remember what a real cinematic visual sensibility can be. Bliss out, don't read the subtitles.
Audience Reviews for The Girl (Flickan)
Beautifully filmed, if thematically obvious, tale of a 9 year old girl who is left behind with her aunt when her family goes to Africa on a mission trip. But with her aunt runs off with a man she finds herself alone, forced to provide for herself, navigating what in many ways will be the last true summer of her childhood. It's never in question where the film is going, but director Frederik Edfeldt conveys the themes with such grace and often breathtaking beauty that it coalesces into a vibrant and lovely whole.
