Reviews

Sjutton år received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the film for its authentic portrayal of adolescence and the stellar performance by Ingeborg Nyberg, others found the pacing slow and the storyline predictable. 'The film offers a nostalgic glimpse into the lives of teenagers in the 1950s, with Nyberg delivering a captivating performance,' commented a reviewer from Metacritic. However, 'the plot lacks depth and fails to engage the audience beyond surface-level entertainment,' noted a critic from IMDb. Despite its shortcomings, Sjutton år has garnered a cult following among viewers who appreciate its heartfelt exploration of youth and identity.
