2. Göteborgs-Posten

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Vicky Krieps is brilliant as Sisi, the Empress of Austria, the most glamorous royal celebrity of the past. The drama "Corsage" focuses on the roles and obligations that entangle and limit her: Europe's beauty queen, royalty, wife, and mother!

3. Uppsala Nya Tidning

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Punky portrait of a norm-breaking empress

4. SVT

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The long arm of feminist historiography reaches back once again through the ages, slapping the patriarchy belatedly and highlighting the resilient court women. In this case, the stubborn Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary.

6. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Indeed, it is perfectly possible to enjoy "Corsage" without getting trapped in the darkness surrounding it.

7. Filmeye

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: After watching the movie, I conclude that weight as well as appearance, though not corsets, are still points of connection between yesterday's empress and western women today.

8. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The strength lies, besides the beautiful cinematography and Krieps, in an interesting variation of the costume drama genre where modern elements have been subtly incorporated.

9. Bio.nu

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: It becomes somewhat scattered and the film doesn't quite flow smoothly. The idea of old queens in period dramas reflecting modern women is not completely new, if you catch my drift.

10. Cinetaste

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: I don't know if it's something I will watch again, but for the moment it manages to tell this story well. One could say I am more impressed by the storytelling and how modern elements are used, rather than the actual plot.

11. Svenska Dagbladet

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: The movie becomes too much of a fantasy.
Swedish: svd.se »
12. Sveriges Radio

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: I'm getting tired of movies where royalties symbolize female experiences. Always equally restricted in sense, corset, and etiquette. Always with a pale hand, which has the privilege to both have the cake and eat it.

13. Filmtopp

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: The monotonous and drawn-out plot makes "Corsage" predictable and unfortunately quite unengaging, despite Vicky Krieps' phenomenal performance in the lead role.

14. Sydsvenskan

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: Artistically tame about anorexic queen.

15. Kulturbloggen

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: I find it uninteresting to follow the situation of such a privileged woman. If such a film is supposed to engage me, there must be something universal in the story, but I can't find it.
