Frankenstein feels like a "real" movie 🇸🇪

It's unusual for me to sit down in front of a Guillermo Del Toro reel and feel disappointed. On the other hand, it's rare for me to be completely overwhelmed either. I often think that there are certain "kill your darlings" problems and often I think it's about movies that I would have given sevens or eights in ratings.

Very good of course anyway, and I love his movies. As I said, not always because I think they are the best, but because they are different experiences - something I appreciate more and more in a Hollywood that has lost its imagination and today is completely saved in green screen and make-ups of old brands that probably should actually have been left behind.

During the weekend I've been watching Frankenstein - and again I feel like I usually do. Del Toro sets the table with magical surroundings, emotions that take time to develop, beautiful design and that sense of craftsmanship - and again the fact that it could have been cut a little, a little more. The casting is also top-notch and I'm now even more looking forward to seeing Elordi return in Euphoria's third season and Mia Goth in Star Wars.

You can find our review here, I myself would probably have settled for a grade of eight. But a stable one. One of those record-breaking eight where you finally feel like you've seen something fresh and well-cooked instead of Hollywood fast food.
