Review
The dramaturgy and
political position of Åsa Blanck and Johan Palmgren's documentary on the
state of the Swedish educational system in general and a burdened,
multi-ethnic upper-elementary school in Stockholm in particular, is a bit too correct
and neat. The filmmakers touch on controversial issues, but they cover
themselves with obviousnesses and gentle criticism. With that said,
Vikarien is engaging and heartfelt from an interpersonal point of
view, with the great character of Folke Silvén bringing
Blanck/Palmgren's story to life and opening for a valid discussion about
educational principles of past and present. If nothing else, Silvén's
presence will be a motivation for anyone in the educational sector
watching this film.
