8 / 10
Translated from swedish: For the most part, "Love Actually" is a light-hearted and entertaining feel-good film that makes you happy. The script is very funny, well-crafted, and all these talented and charming actors elevate the film to the skies.

7 / 10
Translated from swedish: Romance takes center stage as the love lives of some people are woven together in a gigantic ensemble of English actors.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Love Actually" is not ashamed to be what it is. It often defies the heavy laws of lustful realism that want to pull us all towards the earth so that we don't fly away on the small fluffy pink clouds where we - at least sometimes - would like to be instead of where we are.

5 / 10
Translated from swedish: A burned-out screenwriter's last, desperate solution when his creativity is running on empty, and he realizes that what he has done is nothing more than a cover of his previous films, packaged as this year's Christmas movie. But where self-irony falters, it is instead the film's darkest moments that inspire hope.

Translated from swedish: Too many love stories and stars cancel each other out

4 / 10
Translated from swedish: Curtis' attempt to set some kind of British record for tear-inducing is the most calculated play with the audience's emotions in 2003.

1. Aftonbladet
Translated from swedish: "Love Actually" is in its own way almost tailor-made to appeal to those who want to see a feel-good comedy. The environment - London during the Christmas window displays in December - has perhaps never been as inviting as it is here. And sometimes it feels like any problems can be solved with a hug, a smile, a flirtatious look, or a love pop song.
