It is hard to say if this is the actors' fault, though.

Sometimes it feels like a movie created by a drama high school class (but with a huge budget for clothes and props, which are generally good). Sometimes it feels more like something from a theatre play than a movie. There are 3 beautiful shots of the steam engine in the landscape in the middle, which are among the best things about the movie. The camera is not used to tell the story or build suspense. You almost get a bit seasick, and it generally feels rather claustrophobic. Most of the shots are very close and sometimes a single camera is used to cover a conversation, so it starts moving towards a character after he/she started talking. Ulrika, which is an amazingly strong character in the books and the musical is rather lame (though admittedly better than the others). Karl-Oskar at least seems to care for the children, but on the other hand he keeps complaining to Kristina and to the other Swedes in America, like he has no social skills He is mainly working, in a grumpy mood. To me, this is a disgrace against the strong, deep, empathic female character portrayed both in the books and perhaps even more in the musical. She is portrayed as an unsympathetic, winey, weak girl. The daughter runs away and then we get a looong sequence of Kristina sobbing and falling around in the forest looking for her (time better needed to build the story). In one sequence she is worse than Mrs Dursely (Harry Potters foster mother) towards her daughter.

She complains all the time, she won't hug her father goodbye, she betrays her best friend and at times she treats her children horribly. In the movie, Kristina is mostly a bitter, nag.

Once in America she is home-sick and full of deep sorrow, but still cheered up by the gradual success of her family. Kristina is more worried, but also strong-willed, loving and ready to do anything for her children. He is always full of love for his wife and his children. The original story is an absolutely epic adventure with some incredibly lovable characters. When they arrive to America, it bares no meaning, since we don't feel what a change it is or what a horrible journey it has been. When their daughter dies, we don't really care because we don't really feel the hunger and despair which lead them there. You don't get to follow their life, their love, their hardship except through short flashbacks which, again, fail to convey any kind of emotion. When it starts, it is already clear that they decided to emigrate.

The same theme applies to the whole movie. There is no suspense built and you don't feel any investment in the events, what so ever.

Next minute a dead body is thrown over board. This movie builds no suspense for anything which is exiting, dangerous or fantastic. Look, I'm perfectly open to modern interpretations and new angles (Robert + Arvid = gay couple? Reversed roles between Karl-Oskar and Kristina to get a strong female lead?). When they finally drink poison, you think that, hey, maybe it's for the best, I never really cared about those guys anyway, and they certainly didn't seem to like each other. Imagine a movie adaptation of Romeo and Juliet where they skip the part when they met and fell in love, and focus the whole movie on them nagging in the kitchen. I really, really wanted to love this movie, but I found myself angrier than I have ever been from watching a movie. Reviewed by rasmusalinks 1 / 10 DON'T watch this movie! Read the book or watch the musical!
