Underdog er en film, der næsten tvinger til debat uden at have end antydningen af at være frelst.

För Bianca Kronlöfs del kommer Svenskjävel rimligtvis att innebära ett internationellt genombrott, i paritet med Alicia Vikanders.

Vad som på förhand har målats upp som en historia om de alltmer frostiga relationerna mellan Sverige och Norge – ... – visar sig snabbt vara en klassisk boy-meets-girl, om än i socialrealistisk tappning.

Det är inte direkt omöjligt att räkna ut handlingsförloppet men jag köper storyn eftersom allt annat är så trovärdigt.
