Captures the feminine paradox of being complicit in your own intellectual exploitation for the sake of family and dignity- and yes, a complex sort of love

One of the best films of 2018. A must see. Only an hour and forty minutes, too.

May be viewed as one more movie about the often ignored contributions of women, but it is also about rewarding the undeserving individual all the way to the Nobel Prize. Watch out Nobel organization for the flood of critiques.

It’s a movie decorated with glittering performances, and not just by its leading lady and leading man.

An unusually good adaptation of an unusually good novel.

Swedish director Björn Runge’s approach is no-nonsense and workmanlike, perhaps to give these esteemed actors room to swagger and shine, but a bit more imagination and artistry wouldn’t have hurt.
