An odd little film, that does its best to be artsy and stylish, but ends up being very gaudy and kitsch. Alfredson's style certainly stands out, and it's nice to see him try and upgrade what would otherwise have been a very bland drama, but the result doesn't really reflect Alfredson's intentions.

Skarsgård's performance is grossly overstated, the music is overdone, and the light fantasy elements are incredibly kitsch. All that combined made it impossible for me to care about the characters and the drama. I wanted to like this more, Alfredson had some good ideas, but the execution failed on every count.
