7. SVT

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: A commendation should go to the actor Franz Rogowski who, despite portraying an emotionally distressed character, is impossible to look away from. He is charming, he is terrible. The problem is that he steals all the attention. Not only from everyone around him, but he also steals the entire energy of the film, which makes the other characters unclear.

8. Filmtopp

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film portrays a romantic chaos full of betrayal, narcissism and selfish desire that only seems to drive our three parties further apart the further the film goes.

9. Aftonbladet

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Passages" is sold as a passion drama, and perhaps it really would have worked as one if there had been chemistry between the three people involved - but instead of genuine passion, there are drawn-out sex scenes of varying degrees of explicitness.
