  • 1. Aftonbladet
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "About Time" is a romantic comedy, but the core is not about who should get each other and then live happily ever after. It's just as much about the relationship between father and son, about trying to see the strange in every day.

  • 4. Nöjesguiden
    6.7 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Apart from a bit too long gameplay time and some scenes that are there solely to evoke cheap tears, "About Time" is a successful romantic comedy.

  • 6. Russin
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It is not always easy to follow the logic when you break the usual rules of time and space we live by. But "About Time" is essentially a good-natured, though a bit too long, dramatic comedy.
    - Johan Lindahl

  • 7. Filmtopp
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "About Time" is like a cake with several layers, there is laughter, there is crying, and you'll feel the rush of love. Another part of the film that is portrayed in a very moving way is the relationship between Tim and his father. The message - to cherish each other and the time that always tends to run away - is touching and sad to behold.
    - Sophia Swahn

  • 8. Fredrik Fyhr
    5 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "About Time" is a well-meaning but square and untrustworthy romantic film that becomes annoying if you think about it too much, outrageous if you interpret it, and boring if you just sit there and stare at the film while it stares back at you.
    - Fredrik Fyhr

  • 9. Moviezine
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "About Time" wants to be charming in almost every single frame, and that's the thing, that even if you only get to eat candy for dinner, it ultimately becomes tiresome as well.
    - Jake Bolin

  • 10. Filmeye
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "About Time" is like eating a lot of gummy bears: It's good and goes down easily, but in the long run it becomes a bit too tough and a bit too sweet.
    - Jan-Eje Ferling
