Woods: A Journey to Wellbeing"
13 September 2023
"The Swedish feature film, focusing on exploring psychological health from a unique perspective, offers viewers a deep insight into human emotions and challenges. The film attempts to shed light on the complex aspects of mental health, doing so through strong acting performances that imbue the characters with depth and authenticity.

Despite the film's ambition to delve into this important subject, it unfortunately lacks a certain atmosphere that could have further enriched the narrative. At times, it feels like the film falls short in creating the right ambiance necessary to truly immerse the audience in the characters' emotional journey.

The storytelling can sometimes feel a bit rushed in its presentation, which means that certain nuances and pivotal moments may not receive adequate time for development. It's a challenge when tackling such a complex topic as mental health within a limited time frame.

Despite these shortcomings, the film remains a valuable addition to the Swedish cinematic landscape. It raises essential questions about mental health and provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect on these subjects. The actors deliver strong performances, and the film offers a different perspective on a pressing issue. Hopefully, future productions can build upon this foundation and find ways to deepen both the atmosphere and storytelling."
