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

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

a movie like a spider web. many problems, many questions. not very constructed but result is really good.because, out of images and music, it is a deep analyze about right of law, duty, sense of life, accidents and its importance, connections inside family, truth and past, honesty and need of trust.sure, a Swedish story about village life problems. this is the skin. but more than is lucid image of community. so, it is not great. it is just a tale about a man, his nephew, ash of a wolf and few rein deers. and levels of perception about this tale nuances. not emotions, not special effects, not love stories or terrible fight scenes. only a drawing about basic things. but this is seed of its value,

I watched this movie, expecting it to be a bit droning. And while it's not a fast action movie by any means, I felt so strongly for the main characters in the movie, that every second of the tough scenes were very hard to endure. Hence my summary, "more thrilling than a thriller".It's a very good movie in my opinion. Showing two sides of a modern Swedish conflict.Stormare was of course excellent in his role. But a lot of kudos to Robin Lundberg who played Nejla, showing off a young man who finds himself in deeper water than he can handle. As previously stated by other comments, the movie is very beautiful, and you can almost smell the cold air from the snowy mountains. I don't quite know how to formulate this movie, other than I loved every second of it.

The first thing you notice with this film is that it is very beautifully filmed and has very strong music. Then you see Stormare do, probably one of his best roles in his career.The story is simple, about a man and his nephew living in northern Sweden, driving snow scooters and living next to the rein deers. One night a wolf(varg in Swedish) kills a few of the rein deers and the hunt begins.This movie is a simple but very strong movie about loyalty and Stormare is partly why you want too see this film. But you can also see it because it is a beautiful bit of Swedish film.

Since 1966, the wolf is preserved in Sweden. That's a controversial decision, since it takes its toll from, for instance, the Samis' reindeers. This has grown into a kind of conflict between those who live in the bigger cities in the South and Samis and hunters in the North.This movie is about the middle-aged man (Peter Stormare), who lives alone in the wilderness, watching the reindeers. His nephew helps him. Then the wolf arrives, attacks the herd, and the plot is on.This film shows understanding for both sides and you are forced to think and feel for yourself. It's rather obvious what will happen, but still this is told with considerable intelligence. You have seen much worse.
