Shouldn't there be a third option that says, "I want to go home now" ...?

Being a sole parent I identify with Birgitta more than Karin but she didn't seem to me to be the "hugging" kind.
And Karin got to hug Bex, so I'm voting for her. *:)* :lol:

Birgitta, I'd say. Karin, while she had reasons for doing what she did, came across as a bit too unsympathetic for me.

Neither wins Mother of the Year, but I think Birgitta would take the whole Agnes and Elin thing a liitle better than Karin. "That's nice, girls. Just don't burn the house down. Can I go back to sleep now? Nice to meet you, um, Alice. Zzzzzzzzzz..."

my vote go to Brigitta, because she was more lax :D From Karin goes scary fear and she was more so stricter :?

She was well-meaning, I think, but a bit blinkered and pushy.

Hermes description is spot on. :lol:

I'll go with Karin, she's indeed a bit pushy, but I do belive she would come around, and accept her daughter's choice eventually. Maybe with a little help from Olaf. :wink:

I don't think Karin was unsympathetic at all Ian maybe ignorant, she clearly worries for her daughter like most parents but really probably hasn't had a sit down with her daughter to discuss whats going on in her life. She messes up by reading her daughters journal, but if you are a parent I'm sure we all seen it with our own, they are only human after all. I think Karin was Miss popular at school, she's doing everything she did when she was a teen for her daughter thinking she's the same (you can sense that maybe unlike the Father she doesn't quite talk to her daughter too much). so I say ignorant, unsympathetic sounds more to me like she disowns her daughter or ignores her which I don't see personally.

I don't like any them.
Karin is hypocritical and she never would change her brain , I've known people like that.
In time they say to have changed, but only don't talk.

Brigitta is exactly what hate Elin.

I think that them there are in the film like a another reason which represents the film: exit of this "fucking" village and the outdated and old people.
