Reviews
-
“There is nothing like it in theatres right now.”
-
“Scary but brilliantly narrated. /…/ Strikingly peculiar. /…/ [The film possesses] a hard-to-define horror, one that strikes deep inside you, making the soul defenseless.”
-
“A surreal work of art. /…/ [Johannes Nyholm] establishes himself as one of the most exciting, interesting, smart, wise, creative and brilliant and unique directors to have appeared in a long time.”
-
“[Johannes Nyholm] impresses again with Koko-di Koko-da, making me infuriatingly happy. /…/ Johannes Nyholm is an artist that Sweden should take extra well care of. All of his films display the kind of creativity, narrative skill and imagination that Roy Andersson has been searching for during the last centuries.”
