Director Nils Petter Löfstedt turns the camera towards a profession he has been part of himself, trying to depict the crucial work in care that rarely appears in work plans and is never the basis for various calculations or schedules. It's about consideration and respect, the interpersonal and circular work that constantly happens in the moment at preschools, nursing homes, and home care services, but which is not attributed its actual significance. The Unmeasurable not only points out flaws in society's view of care but is also an initiated and deeply touching portrayal of various workplaces and a working class dominated by women.
Anger discusses his Aleister Crowley-inspired theories of art: How he views his camera like a wand and how he casts his films, preferring to consider his actors, not human beings but as elemental spirits.

This is as direct an explanation of Anger’s cinemagical modus operandi as I have ever heard him articulate anywhere. It’s a must see for anyone interested in his work and showcases the Magus of cinema at the very height of his artistic powers. Fascinating. (Dangerous Minds)
