8 / 10

Translated from swedish: As one reaches middle age, time goes by so quickly that it feels like a constant state of convulsion. Couldn't have said it better myself.

2. Ljud & Bild

6.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: We think that BARDO is often a brilliant, compelling and deeply disturbing film, but it should have had more turns in the editing room before it was released.

7. Aftonbladet

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Bardo" risks instead becoming a headache for Netflix. A quality initiative where the streaming service is likely thinking that a lack of commercial interest will be compensated with prizes and critical acclaim. Judging by the lukewarm reception at the Venice Film Festival in August, the latter may not be the case.
