I have seen this movie because I have heard this is "the new Swedish wave", "this is the hope for Swedish cinema". Well, if this is supposed to be hope for the Swedish cinema, then Swedish cinema is pretty hopeless. The movie is about problems of actors, lots of extremely boring dialogs about art, blah, blah, blah - a really depressing "commedy" movie that is supposed to be enjoyable or even funny. I have not found anything funny at all. Nothing much happens and absolutely nothing matters. 100% boring movie in is purest form. It probably requires some northern Europe genome in your blood to be enjoyed, I really do not understand how anyone be amused by something like this. Avoid it at any cost to save 2 hours in your life for something that really matters...

I really don't know why people rated this film so low. Have they seen the same film as I have? The film is so good!I only speak little Swedish, so I'm glad the Swedish DVD has subtitles in English. But they seem to work because I love this film so much! Not only the crème de la crème of Swedish actors and actresses are in this little gem together, the composition of the whole film is just great. The editing works brilliantly. The music inclusive the "song on TV" is well chosen, everything about this film is just right. What more can you ask for? I can warmly recommend it to everybody who loves the Swedish language, good jokes, crazy situations and acting.8 out of 10. Or maybe 9? Yes, 9 out of 10.

I loved this movie. As noted in the summary, it's about several women who all hope to be cast in the re-make of the Greta Garbo Swedish historical film, Queen Christina--this is the circumstance that provides the tension/motor for the film. And then what it is is a great entertainment involving interlocking stories in the lives of these women, much of it quite funny. Most of them appear to be over 45, which makes it especially enjoyable for grownups--a story with loads of energy and intensity about women who are past their youth.

Well, a comment ought to be critical and subjective. But I can´t. I love this movie. After a couple of years whit pale swedish movies I must say this gives hope for Swedish film. Since Ingmar Bergman it has been thin in the swedish gallery of moviecreators. A couple of years ago we had Lukas Moodysson whit "Fucking Åmål"... but... Collin Nutleys "Gossip" is a MOVIE.
