2. Filmtopp

7 / 10

Translated from swedish: Overall, I leave the cinema quite pleased. Say what you want about Woody Allen in recent years, his films have certainly been uneven, but here I think he shows himself to be in fine form. The story is constructed like many other Allen films: the pondering man, complications with love, and a touch of melancholic humor.

3. Nöjesguiden

6.6 / 10

Translated from swedish: A beautiful, mostly charming, and ultimately bittersweet romantic dramedy for adults that brightens the autumn darkness with intelligence and wit.

4. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Muttering about how Woody Allen has made better, more lively films in the past would be like kicking in an open door. Instead, see it as that "Café Society" is a charming, longing, and for the eye delightful distraction that stands relatively strong among the aging filmmaker's later works.

5. Dagens Nyheter

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Vittorio Storaro's cinematography is nothing short of magnificent, it is beautiful, it is grand, it is half the film. Sometimes it is even the whole pleasure.

6. Expressen

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Gangster humor, family relationships, and vibrant minor roles are interwoven with a haphazard charm, but also quite a few loose ends. It's almost like a sampler of everything the filmmaker has entertained us with before.
