Too often when American audiences think of
foreign film, they imagine the kind of stuffy films that critics tend to
praise, the types that end up on best-of lists despite the average audience’s
inability appreciate the artistry. Britt-Marie
Was Here is not that kind of film, instead resembling the kind of
crowd-pleasing, feel-good films that tend to do well in the American
independent film industry. Quirky films with heart may not surpass the
blockbusters in the box office, but they have an audience that translates
across borders. All it would take for this film to translate to
English-speaking audiences is the willingness to read subtitles.
