9 / 10
Translated from swedish: Absolutely magnificent French feel-good film with brilliant picture and sound quality.

5 / 6
Translated from swedish: If anything, "Intouchables" is about class relations and what happens when social boundaries are crossed and people from different backgrounds meet. In this case, that encounter is beautiful.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Reality-based dramas often become heavy and melancholic while feel-good films easily turn into cheap crowd-pleasing. In the French "Intouchables", this combination results in an admittedly predictable but finely tuned and uplifting buddy film.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Two mismatched people thrown together is a classic comedy device that works well in the culture-clash film "Intouchables"

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Intouchables" inspires hope, not for France, but for humanity. The fact that it's also more entertaining than anything else you've seen at the movies in years creates the most unique conditions for this magnificent film.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Intouchables" hits the Western world's sore spots, applies band-aids, and makes the audience feel amazing. It's really that simple.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Intouchables", which in terms of viewership is the second most successful French film of all time, is a really beautiful and entertaining movie with an outstanding soundtrack. It strikes a great balance between being a more niche feel-good film with European humor and a Hollywood dramedy, making it a film that I think many people can watch and appreciate.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Intouchables" is a French feel-good movie, an emotional film for the moment. The ending of the film is powerful.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: French films often contain that truly and intuitively natural human survival element that strikes straight to the viewers' hearts with pinpoint accuracy.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: It's heartwarming, well-acted, funny and touching. A movie that will make you both laugh and cry.

3 / 4
Translated from swedish: I tried to resist it myself, for the sake of it, but it was pretty pointless. The movie is 110 well-executed minutes of pure joy. Joy makes you happy.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: The humor is sometimes brutal but never sentimental. And the actors do what they can – which is quite a lot – to make us sympathize with their characters and appreciate what they do for each other.
- Bernt EklundSwedish: expressen.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: The film takes a stand against the pretentious bourgeoisie and their judgments, but without romanticizing poverty. What's beautiful is that it becomes a mutual learning experience between the two.
- Emma EngströmSwedish: gp.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: A bit homophobic, misogynistic, and exoticizing, sure, but by today's French standards still progressive nonetheless.
- Kerstin GezeliusSwedish: dn.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: It's an aggressively crowd-pleasing comedy that hits every anti-intellectual button in the book; a film where a representative of 'real people' enters high society, sees through the pretense, and disses all highbrow culture like theater, opera, modern art, and classical music.
