  • 1. Nöjesguiden
    3 / 6

    Translated from swedish: With such a dramatically overwrought script as this, hands to the forehead, unnecessarily meaningful glances, and eye-rolling should naturally be forbidden. Of course, not all the blame should be placed on Juliette Binoche, but her nomination for Best Actress must surely be seen as an example of bizarre humor.

    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: "The English Patient" is a film that has a couple of nice scenes and a talented Juliette Binoche - but otherwise it's nothing special.
    - Johan Hultgren
