1. Aftonbladet

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: Just like with the director of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire", Céline Sciamma, you have the feeling that you are resting in the hands of a highly gifted director, one who follows her instinct and calculates with nanometer precision when she describes a specifically feminine experience. It is thought and idea, but also flesh and body.

12. SVT

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: This is more theater than film. In principle, all the drama lies in the spoken word. So more food for thought than the senses, which does not give a perfect cinema experience.
