Leave your thoughts about Songs from the Second Floor.
| eye WEEKLYJason AndersonThe most ingenious film comedy since Being John Malkovich. |
| Reno Gazette-JournalMark RobisonThe heavy symbolism overwhelms the storytelling. |
| Matinee MagazineJason ClarkIt's almost as if it's an elaborate dare more than a full-blooded film. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWant to see something strange, funny, twisted, brilliant and macabre? Sure you do. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekIf you're in the mood to wallow in the emptiness of Western society, then Songs is certainly a mind-boggling piece of work. |
| TV GuideKen FoxAndersson creates a world that's at once surreal and disturbingly familiar; absurd, yet tremendously sad. The haunting score is by ABBA's Benny Andersson. |
| New York TimesElvis MitchellA heartbreakingly thoughtful minor classic, the work of a genuine and singular artist. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitlike Bergman approaching Swedish fatalism using Gary Larson's Far Side humor in a script acted by the Monty Python troop |
| Eye for FilmAnton Bitelthe everyday apocalypse envisaged in Songs From The Second Floor is a wonder to behold, an idiosyncratic humanist allegory without parallel in cinema - unless, of course, you include Andersson's equally astonishing follow-up You, The Living (2007) |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroA brilliant, absurd collection of vignettes that, in their own idiosyncratic way, sum up the strange horror of life in the new millennium. |
