Det er noget af en balancegang at springe fra socialrealisme, til feel-good sportsfilm over magisk realisme og tilbage igen, men 'Kæmpen' får det til at se legende let ud.

Nyholm rammer grisen helt rent i flere af disse naturalistiske scener, hvor vi kan mærke Rikard som et helt, afrundet menneske og ikke blot et mål for vores medynk.

Med suveränt skådespel och lekfullt manus är detta en fantastisk film lika unik som sin hjälte. Gå och se den, det är en av årets bästa filmer.
