Reviews
-
“A new-thinking update of a classic. /…/ This new interpretation [of Vinterviken] feels both modern and more weighty than its predecessor.”
-
“Alexis Almström’s Vinterviken 2021 is faithful to its predecessor, but considerably more realistic in its depiction of the two worlds that collide. /…/ A remake of a classic that’s kept its topicality.”
-
“It’s a story that’s as topical today, if not more, than it was thirty years ago. /…/ The new Vinterviken 2021 is excellent. The tale is both believable and gripping. It’s a beautiful love story that stands the test of time. The director has treated the story with a gentle hand.”
