User Rating Rating: 5

A successful international conductor suddenly interrupts his career and returns alone to his childhood village in the far north of Sweden. He is soon asked to come along, listen and give advice to the fragment of a church choir. He can't say no, and from that moment, nothing in the village is the same again as he develops and grows the choir. He makes both friends and enemies. And he finds love.<br /><br />Sweden's entry for best foreign film at the 2006 Academy Awards.

Rating: 5 As it is on Earth too
by Mark
Excellent movie full of redemptive themes and quite a lot of "Hey, I know someone like that" moments.
Rating: 5 Dialogue for grown-ups
by Steve Searle
Swedish movie where the dialogue is between grown-ups, as in many words are left unsaid and a question seems to be seeking a connection rather than answers. It's refreshing to be allowed to read the change in characters as the story progresses rather than have every thought scripted, as in mainstream movie and TV dramas from the US of A. These characters are more real in their humility, rather than boldness, and their convergence in the final concert scene is very moving and all the more believeable.

A well-worn story but it's nicely handled here, blending high drama and moments of farce with some splendid music and a od love story...

Release date: January 26th 2006.
