Although it's a just film... it takes a long time to gain momentum and when it does it lacks the intensity necessary to distinguish it from other works with a similar theme. [Full review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- At its best, Sami Blood can be read as an especially remarkable footnote about that complex relationship between bodies and the cinematographic framing that appears every so often in film theory. [Full review in Spanish] Full Review

SAMI BLOOD relies so much on the expressive face of its lead actress, the powerful newcomer Lene Cecilia Sparrok, that at times it might as well be wordless.

3 stars out of 4 -- The film’s success comes from how Kernell’s skills as a director match the ambitions of her script.

An eloquent coming-of-age drama set in 1930s Sweden that revolves around a spellbinding performance by young Lene Cecilia Sparrok. Full Review

Sparrock's performance is courageous and compelling. Quiet and observant despite that rage and will, Elle-Marja learns from each slight and wound she endures. Full Review

Product Description:

A 14-year-old girl (Lene Cecilia Sparrok) belonging to the Sami people, a Scandinavian ethnic minority, is subjected to racism and eugenic scrutiny in the 1930s when she is removed from her family and sent to a state-run school that aims to reeducate her into Swedish culture. She must soon choose between new academic opportunities or staying true to her cultural identity, all while weathering the storms of adolescence.
