  • 1. Moviezine
    4 / 5

    Translated from swedish: The film succeeds admirably in conveying the attitude toward God that characterized the Protestant 16th-century individual. The credible religious portrayal and the struggle that unfolds within the protagonist elevates "Age of Uprising" from a well-crafted revenge tale with swords into a historically grounded portrait of the archetypal, taciturn hero who starts a revolution without any reasonable chance of victory, yet pushes forward regardless.

    4 / 5

    Translated from swedish: It's refreshing to see a period drama without the romanticization that so often accompanies that genre. The story itself doesn't contain any major surprises. But the stripped-down style with minimal dialogue and without Hollywood strings dictating the viewers' emotions gives the narrative realism and strength.
    - Evjenia Bäckström

    Translated from swedish: The film has heart and it has soul, and I found that these two spoke to me from beginning to end.
