Alfredson’s tender, delicate, beautifully paced vampire film, chronicling a budding friendship between a young, timid, bullied Stockholm boy and a mildly jaded vampire of apparently similar age, is, despite Söderqvist’s occasionally jarring score, a visually arresting and affectingly performed work.
