Easy Money (2010) - Swedish thriller - a relatively straightforward crime story of upwardly-mobile Swedish lad falling in with coke-smuggling gangsters and chaos ensuing. It's not very arty but much more psychologically subtle and downbeat than the average US or UK crime caper. In true Scandi fashion most of the characters are miserable and bear hidden emotional burdens. It reaches for the complex plotting of say Amores Perros but doesn't quite get there. But interesting for its portrayal of a multi-ethnic Swedish underworld (various other characters are Latin Americans, Serbs, Arabs, Turks) and the vile Swedish elite, who are like UK red-trousered hoorays inbred with themselves over several generations.
21 and Over (2013) basically an updating of the stoner/campus/animal house sort of film, but with millennial bad attitude, snark, scads of swearing and irony. Basically the tale of one night's epic bender through a college town with a few life lessons about friendship, freedom and standing up for yourself thrown in. It's nicely written in places - though as with Juno sometimes verging on overdone, because these lines are too smart for the characters, who are really not that likeable (but are well played even when they're abrasive). As you would expect a lot of the humour is crass, sexist, and revolves around vomit. It toys with racism but sends it up at the same time. All very bro-ey but entertaining enough.
