Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Gunnar, a boy of about seven or eight, has trouble speaking or reading in class, in spite of the encouragement from his teacher, so all of his classmates think he's backward. As a result, he has no friends. That is until two new children join the class. Peter and his sister Petra are only six inches tall, but Peter's cheerful confidence and Petra's quiet sweetness have everyone enchanted. The pair choose Gunnar as their best friend, sitting on his desk, and helping him to speak in class, which proves to everyone that he is not backward at all. The film assumes some intelligence in the viewer, as not all events affecting the characters are actually shown. The acting is perfect, and makes you believe that the actors are just as adorable as the characters they are playing.
