No pun intended - obviously a bit more than just issues. Not sure if you read what this is about (I never do before I watch a movie), but this takes it to another level. And you wonder where it is going to go next - again no pun intended.
Fares Fares - I've come to admire him as an actor. He is soft spoken, slow and subtle. And while this movie of course has ... let's call them explosive scenes, it still manages to have some solace. Not often of course - but his character is able to diffuse quite a lot.
And not only is he starring in this, but he also is directing. It's not easy doing both jobs, but he proves he is more than capable. Including some things from personal experience I assume - being called discriminatory against foreigners while being one himself - or at least having parents that aren't native. He may have gotten the Swedish nationality. But this is not about nationalities, but about families and things that can go wrong ... every one has a secret ... still there are things one should never do, right? You may have gotten what I am trying to say here: there is some moral ambiguity ... you might be able to empathize a little bit with the bad guy ... that doesn't make you bad of course.
