The mother of a disintegrating family decides to take them all on a trip across the country to her daughter's pole-dancing competition. Her husband, selfish and detached from his family, wants a divorce and is reluctant, but agrees on condition that they separate once back home.
Numerous fractitious conversations ensue, which is not unfamiliar to anyone with experience of Swedish relationship dramas, and neither is the fact that the parents are just too ready to indulge their children's ever whim, in sterotypically Scandinavian fashion. But what makes Let Go a shade better than the norm is not just its sense of realism, but the way the climb out of their collective rut, not least the husband's, is both convincing and positive.
