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 are 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 fascinating Folke Silvén bringing
Blanck/Palmgren's story to life and opening up 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.
