The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A train journey represents a tension-building arena. Specially if you intend to have a large number of participants killed. This is a Sjöwall/Wahlöö script. Trying to argue that the murderer is among us. Could be your or me. An odd and intriguing ensemble of men and women. Hyperactive acting and editing. Not a quiet moment. And a strange mix of comedy and thriller. Some forced nudity. Kinky at times. With prejudice, the film describes deviant sexual behavior A couple of train passengers are also reported to have been treated at a mental hospital. Allan Edwall, Heinz Hopf, and Erik Hell stands out. Unusually many good female roles. A typical Swedish film from the mid-sixties. "Mördaren is a consistently dispassionate and highly gross film". - Stig Björkman Chaplin.
