Swedish writer Stig Dagerman (1923-1954) was a literary sensation who after a few productive years, suddenly fell silent. Struggling with writer's block, Dagerman wrote the essay "Our Need for Consolation" about his inner demons and his quest for freedom. For the first time in English, featuring Stellan Skarsgard as an on-camera narrator, this film brings Dagerman's powerful words to life in the form of a visual poem.

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
