Three miles north of Molkom, hidden deep in the lakeside forests of Sweden, lies Ängsbacka, a 21st Century playground for adults. Once a year, their gates open to a thousand international participants, placed in "Sharing Groups" at random. A Swedish celebrity, a Californian hippie, a Finnish grandmother and a backpacking Australian rugby coach, who stumbled on the wrong party, are amongst the group that take us on an unforgettably quirky, two-week emotional rollercoaster. Firewalking, shamanism, tantric sex and a myriad other physical, psychological and esoteric experiences guide our unlikely heroes towards enlightment, love, loathing and themselves. Will they ever be the same again?
Leave your thoughts about Three Miles North of Molkom.
| Times (UK)Wendy IdeIt's a nicely judged little film... unexpectedly heart-warming. |
| Little White LiesMatt BochenskiIt's impossible to overstate just how intimate Three Miles North of Molkom is. Though often hilarious, it is also difficult, at times excruciating, to watch. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawGoofy, amiable and often quite bizarre, this documentary from British producer-directors Robert Cannan and Corinna McFarlane is a little gem: it is effortlessly entertaining, and boasts what has to be the year's most extraordinary scene in factual cinema. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsOne of the funniest, most enjoyable documentaries we've seen in many a year. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThis sharp-eyed documentary captures every aspect of the No Mind experience from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessThis is a film that's open-minded about the benefits of such places as life experiences, if not necessarily life-changing ones. |
| Film4Jon FortgangThe enjoyably sarky tone conceals a sympathetic and frequently very funny documentary. |
| What CultureMike EdwardsFull of laughter, weirdness and raw emotion, it's a documentary that provides a real experience. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerIt wears out its welcome before the end and the central journey is both unconvincing and vaguely unsatisfying. |
| Independent (UK)Robert HanksAmusing but overlong documentary about the No Mind festival deep in the lakeside woods of Sweden. |
