A somewhat different story that was original, but still worth seeing.

The cast did a great job and visually it was beautiful too. The monkey was well made and looked believable. I thought it was going to be a pretty silly story, but it was still a serious theme, especially for a teen movie. Still pleasantly surprised.

Frank [Julius Jimenez Hugoson] is deeply saddened when his sister Saga [Nina Âkerlund] dies from bone cancer. Throughout her life she was fascinated by monkeys and acted like a monkey, earning her the affectionate nickname Monky. Shortly after Saga's death, Frank discovers a monkey that reminds him so much of Saga that he convinces himself and his parents [Johan Petersson, Frida Hallgren] that this is the reincarnation of his sister. The family takes Monky in, but Frank's grandmother [Ing-Marie Carlsson] has her doubts. Paints a beautiful picture of a family that fully embraces the eccentricities of a child, but also how incredibly difficult it is to let go of your child or your sister. Despite the spicy subject, this is a family film par excellence, full of moments of warmth and with an extremely moving denouement.

A nice youth film about a monkey whose family thinks it is the reincarnation of the deceased sister. Rather limitedly developed, but it remains entertaining. In such films you often have to deal with bad guys, but they were not really there. The grandmother is a bit difficult and the family of that conceited bald head could have taken on that role - reason enough I think - but that did not happen. It could have been a wonderful adventure. Now it remained a meaningless, rushed affair.

The theme is more about letting go of a loss, but apart from that it remains very light. The monkey takes care of that last part with all his antics and mischief. Not bad, but it could have been a bit spicier.
