The question is: do we need to be hauled through scene after scene of drab, dehumanized behavior so that we may see, or at least hear, humanity restored at the end?
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Overview
In a decript apartment, a young man watches as his father and a friend shoot an amateur porn film. Issues of morality, reality TV and friendship are explored.

Moodysson comes on like de Sade crossed with Godard, yet by locking us outside of his characters, he fails to make them even contemptuously compelling.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
An experimental, transgressive work that pretty much fails on every level.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
The film is yet another proof of Moodysson's fearlessness and his willingness to push forward and break through the boundaries of convention.
Gunnar Rehlin, Variety
Fresh
Will disgust many (probably most) viewers as it cements Moodysson's reputation as one of today's most daring filmmakers.
