4 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths" risks instead becoming a headache for Netflix. A quality initiative where the streaming service is likely thinking that a lack of commercial interest will be compensated with prizes and critical acclaim. Judging by the lukewarm reception at the Venice Film Festival in August, the latter may not be the case.
