'Charter' has a clear Scandinavian calm and methodical narrative tone with sparse dialogue. Written and directed by Amanda Kernell, the movie asks important questions about parenting and responsibility - two concepts that turn out do not always fit in the same vein. You won't find straightforward answers here, which is exactly what makes this Swedish drama so worthwhile. The acting performances are realistic and so very good, especially from Ane Dahl Torps.

Psychotic woman kidnaps her children. It takes her two hours and very many close ups of her to realize that she will not be able to take care of them. Decent acting in a film that would have worked better as a short. Maybe sometimes a bit too obvious, but in general good art direction.
2* for art direction, 3* for the actors, 1* for direction, 4 stars down for missed possibilites

I don't understand the bad rating regarding this movie. I found it very engaging with an interesting plot regarding an important subject. Great acting by all actors. Ok it is dark and a bit slow, so if you don't like movies that are like that it's not for you. But it never gets dull in my opinion. A beautiful but tough movie that will stay in my memory.
If you want to waste 78 minutes of your life you should watch this horrible movie. It did nothing. You could have a more exciting time, counting rocks on the beach.

After this movie I can go to the cinema for any random movie, I know its not gonna be worse... I just created an account here to rate it... When the movie was being a whole disaster I heard the word Tenerife where I come from so atleast I had a hope that it will turn on something good to realize after the fake voices to add this fake spanish vibe or background which by the way its not real at all... I dont know why ppl here say this was realistic, it was super Fake acting and the stereotypes... in Canary islands we are Canarians not mexicans, we neither are Cubans, super cliché movie i only heard canarian accent from the police. The rest was just bs... the movie made me hate every single character and if the purpose was too create discomfort, impotence and sadness about their situation, it only created nausea... I enjoyed the popcorn tho...
