When Darkness Falls

It is the second time I watch this gem from Sweden. The first time I gave the movie a 8/10 but after a second viewing I upgraded it to a 9/10. The movie is split up in 3 separate stories with 3 separate themes. All 3 are set in Sweden. The first is about honor in a Muslim family and the extent the family is willing to go to protect that honor. The second is about the violence at Swedish nightclubs and restaurants and the last is about the growing problem of violence against women.

The movie is excellent made, and keeps you in the seat the whole way. There are some amazing performances from several of the actors and actresses involved.
