A kind of quiet Scandinavian cousin (OK, twice removed) to Home Alone, in which patient viewers will find sporadic rewards. Sep 30, 2010 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

If nothing else, see The Girl to remember what a real cinematic visual sensibility can be. Bliss out, don't read the subtitles. Jun 20, 2016 | Full Review…

In the film, girlhood is too premature a demand on a child who just wants to, well, play. Sep 26, 2010 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

a devastating indictment of self-absorbed adults so concerned about themselves that they don't even notice the abandonment of a nine-year-old girl. Sep 24, 2010 | Full Review…

A totally beguiling Swedish film about the coming-of-age of a 10-year-old girl during a summer when her parents and brother are gone. Sep 8, 2010 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

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.
