Stacking scenes on top of each other

This film is a classic example of bad directing and editing.

I actually think that the film could work if it wasn't for the bad editing, directing, writing and acting.

I totally concur with the person who wrote one of the other reviews.

My life as a dog (mitt liv som hund) is although similar, it's a classic Swedish film.

There are few good Swedish films, Fanny and Alexander is another one, but this sadly is a miss.
