“I Can’t Be Your Friend”
Let the Right One In
Director: Tomas Alfredsson
Let the Right One In is a Swedish horror about a teenage boy trying to live his life as an outcast. Even coming home from school doesn’t make his day any better, his parents are split and he doesn’t enjoy the time he has with his mom. The short weekends he gets to spend with his dad are refreshing because he’s more of a friend to him than a father. Back at his mom’s apartment he spends a lot of his time in the courtyard out in front. One evening he realizes a strange girl watching him. She’s quiet and kind of smells funny, yet he finds out that they are neighbors and become friends. Little does he know, his strange new friend has a secret she’s very reluctant to reveal.
I enjoyed this film for its story. The typical outcast gains a friend as well as the strange girl finds a companion. The shots they were able to capture in the snow whether it was day or night were amazing. I also hope that () will continue to make movies. She has a different kind of beauty about her and I think it will take her places.
