About This Movie

A Rational Solution (2009) is a unique blend of comedy and drama that leans heavily on character-driven storytelling. Jörgen Bergmark crafts this story around two marriage counselors whose lives take a complicated turn when the husband gets entangled with his best friend's wife. The film's tone balances humor with some darker moments, creating an intriguing atmosphere that feels very adult. It’s interesting how the pacing unfolds—sometimes slow, allowing the weight of the characters' decisions to settle in. The performances from Sweden's top actors bring a genuine authenticity to their roles. It’s a smart take on relationships, exploring themes of fidelity, friendship, and the messiness of love in a refreshingly honest way.

Nominated for Best Film at the 2009 Ghent International Film Festival.Features strong performances from four leading Swedish actors.A thoughtful take on marital issues with a blend of humor and drama.
