There are lots of borders-between-things straddled by this Swedish movie - challenges to binary perspectives - and one of them is the line between it being completely ridiculous and not, and somehow the story of Tina, a border security guard who excels at her job because she can smell vice, always steers itself back from that brink; the movie, in which misfit Tina at last meets a kindred spirit and learns more about her true nature, is fascinating, challenging, emotional, beautiful, staggeringly original, and right the way through teeters on being - but never ends up being - utterly ridiculous.
★★★★☆
