4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Do you really want to watch a three-hour film with death in the title? Yes, it's worth pushing through the resistance to such an anxiety-inducing word. Because it's actually about life - the complicated, contradictory, and rarely perfect kind - and about how light can peek through life's cracks.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: It's a slow-burn black dramedy that manages to balance the tragic and comedic elements in a believable way. Even though the film is like a concentrate of every possible human problem - exploring how distance within families and between people is created and maintained - it also has glimmers of hope that point toward the future.

4 / 6
Translated from swedish: Meet the Lunie family – Tom tries to take life in stride, his little sister Ellen is an alcoholic and deeply destructive, and their parents are suffering from dementia. But "Dying" is still a bright spot within its genre.

Translated from swedish: Award-winning German "Dying" dissects a dysfunctional family with precision and dark humor. Star Lars Eidinger delivers a spot-on portrayal of a conductor at the center of events. Such a polished, well-crafted, and confident drama.
