Svinalängorna or Beyond is a Swedish-Finnish drama starring Noomi Rapace, Ola Rapace, Outi Mäenpää, Ville Virtanen, young actress Tehilla Blad and her little brother in real life and in the film, Junior Blad. Tehilla is already used to playing Noomi Rapace's characters as a child from Stieg Larsson's Millenium -trilogy ( The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , The Girl Who Played with Fire , The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest ), but this is a completely different film, based on the novel by Susanna Alakoski and put to film by Pernilla August. The film surrounds around the life of Leena, a 34-year-old woman living with her husband and two daughters. You'll soon learn that her childhood wasn't the easiest, with a family that… Pretty powerful drama about growing up in an alcoholic household, and the eternal trauma it leaves in a person's mind. Great acting, especially from Outi Mäenpää as the mother of the family. Well made, but probably works best as a novel. Recommended for fans of realistic drama films. “I'm looking for answers,From the great beyond.” 7/10. Whilst having found her absolutely incredible in The Millennium trilogy,I’ve been unsure about when to view this Noomi Rapace title, due to how grim the subject matter is. Reading from a fellow IMDber recently who is also a Rapace fan that they found tough, but very good,I got set to finally go beyond. View on the film: From the opening scene in bed, co-writer/(with Lolita Ray) debut feature film directing Pernilla August & cinematographer Erik Molberg Hansen make the colour blue be the most prominent recurring motif in the movie,with the light tint of blue during car rides and the families being surrounded by blue objects in their homes, bringing out a cold… Not sure why, but I never really connected with the story and thus it didn't have much of an impact. Noomi Rapace was good, without being great. I like Noomi Rapace in more or less everything i have seen her in and this is not the best film she has been in, nor her best performance. It is mostly down to what she has to work with, and the plot seems a little disjointed with the constant flashback and not much follow through of the present day story. Also in a film that is supposed to be very emotional I did not feel that much involvement in that matter. Susanna Alakoski.

Där bor hon med sina föräldrar, sina bröder, hunden Terrie och katten Tipu. Fast ibland heter katten Puti. Varenda vår blir det kattungar – och alla utan en blir dränkta i en hink med ljummet vatten. Sedan gasar de ihjäl kattmamman och den överlevande ungen blir familjens älskling. De har haft många Tipu och många Puti. I en av lägenheterna bor Åse. Hemma hos henne får man stuvade makaroner och ibland lite godispengar. Åses pappa är nog den enda pappan Leena känner till som inte super men hennes mamma har nästan alltid en öl i handen så hon dricker väl för två. I Riitas familj är det tvärtom; hennes mamma vägrar att dricka fast hennes pappa är alltid full. Hemma hos Leena super man antingen varje dag i flera veckor eller så lovar man att aldrig bråka med varandra på ett sådant där sätt att man tror att det bara kan sluta i död och inte heller ska man låta kylskåpet stå tomt flera dagar i sträck. Men det dröjer aldrig lång tid innan maten tar slut och Leena och hennes bröder börjar leta sig bort. Bäst mår Leena när hon simmar. Hon skulle vilja stanna i vattnet för evigt. Aldrig mer stiga upp. Aldrig mer se de där brandgula husen eller höra sin pappa skrika nedvärderande ord åt Leenas mamma innan han knäcker ett av hennes revben. Svinalängorna skildrar alkoholismens blandning av kaos och ordning genom barnens ögon på ett sätt som lämnar gåshud långt efter sista sidan. Genom Leena får vi följa med under flera år av hennes barndom där de lyckliga stunderna blir med sällsynta tills det till slut endast handlar om barnens utsatthet och deras kamp för överlevnad i en vuxen värld som har svikit dem. Jag vill inte alls påstå att jag förstår Leena och hennes vänner fullständigt eftersom jag inte har haft några vuxna i min närhet som har missbrukat alkohol men som ett barn som växte upp med en bipolär förälder och nästan alltid haft en förälder som har mått dåligt på ett eller annat sätt så kan jag relatera till frustrationen och utsattheten. Även om min situation var helt annorlunda och absolut inte lika allvarlig så gav det boken en personlig touch under min läsning. Den var rå och skrämmande men även vacker på sitt eget sätt. ( ) I read this book straight-through over three evenings, and it captivated me.
