I missed Let the Right One In when it was in theaters, so when the critically-adored tween vamp pic came to Blu-Ray I added it near the top of the Netflix queue.
Now I see that the home release (DVD and BR) has badly translated subtitles that strip much of the dialogue of its nuance and dark humor.
The distributor did the right thing and hurriedly restored the theatrical version. But there's no guarantee that Netflix will make the switch. It seems likely that it won't. But in any case, there's no way to know in advance which version you're getting... nor even after the disc arrives, since it ships without the case, where the subtitle information is indicated. And since I haven't seen the movie, I presumably can't be sure I have the better version even after I start watching.
The obvious thing to do would be to e-mail Netflix and ask if they intend to swap out all copies of the film. But have you ever tried to contact Netflix about anything? They have a really good automated feedback system for customer service issues, and even an actual phone number for solving problems, but I can't find any way to contact them with questions about content. Somehow I can't see calling the help line and asking this question. As we say in the vampire trade, this sucks.
