🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Uppsala Kidnapping has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.3/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

Released in 2018, this film holds up just as well today. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
