The feature film The Informer, based on the novel Three Seconds by Roslund & Hellström, is released nationwide in theatres in the UK today. Several of the biggest UK newspapers are already lauding the film, which is directed by Andrea Di Stefano, and stars Joel Kinnaman, Rosamund Pike and Ana de Armas in the lead roles.
“Joel Kinnaman stars in a sharp, cunning crime thriller. /…/ The Informer is one of the year’s more pleasant genre surprises: a clenched fist of a crime thriller in the mode of The Departed or The Town, in which every element is just a notch smarter than you’d expect. […] it holds together absorbingly, thanks to a sturdy script which ups stakes and adds characters with cunning and intelligence. /…/ While gritty genre fare gravitates more and more to the small screen, it’s strangely satisfying to watch two hours spent doing business the old way.”
-Telegraph, UK
“It’s a genuinely tense, gritty, New York City-set drama with a compelling leading man in Joel Kinnaman, and solid support from Rosamund Pike, whose fragrant English Rose period is now just a distant memory. /…/ That’s an admirably multinational team behind a film that feels not just distinctly American but carries that particular whiff of New York City underbelly, of sweat and pretzels and acrid steam rising from subway gratings.”
-Daily Mail, UK
“Old-school twisty thriller holds its best tricks until the end. /…/ This hard-edged, old-school crime thriller is a resolutely grim and increasingly violent affair, and holds your attention with a hardworking cast, decent production values and a twisty story which holds its best tricks until the end.”
-Daily Mirror, UK
“Gripping tale of brawn and bloodshed behind bars. /…/ Rosamund Pike is an FBI agent who sends an ex-con undercover in a gritty crime drama that drips with menace. This is a tough, muscular, sweaty thriller […] its world reeking with cynicism and fear.”
-The Guardian, UK
“It’s pulled off with slick effectiveness and has enough bumps in the road to demand your attention to the end.”

Dream is created by Aron Levander and Filip Hammarström, based on an idea by Johan Rudolphie. Levander and Hammarström are also the series writers alongside Dunja Vujovic. Two seasons have been produced back to back, with Amir Chamdin as director for season 1, and Kirke Ailio Rodwell for season 2.
Dream is set on an island, reeling from an asteroid hit. A young girl discovers that she and three of her new classmates have shared the same strange dream the night before the impact, manifesting their own futures. When the group learns that a horrible accident is set to take place – one they can knowingly stop – their decision to work together to prevent it from happening inadvertently changes the course of their futures forever.
Dream is produced by Palladium Fiction, and is now available on the Swedish FVOD platform SVT Play.
Diamonds and Rust is a story about wounds that never heal, about envy, betrayal and revenge, and about a crime so well and thoroughly thought out that it may never be solved. Not unless Hanne Wilhelmsen gets a chance to try.
