10 / 10
Translated from swedish: Only those who want to have fun will be disappointed, because the charged relationship drama just gets more unsettling. And the happy ending is more miserable than anything else.

8.3 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Match Point" is a fascinating story about morality, desire, and ambition, and what one is willing to do to maintain their position.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Match Point" is an entertaining observation of class struggle in Britain, but also a film noir about passion, greed and murder.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Even though the movie runs just over two hours and consists mostly of dialogue, I'm absolutely not bored. The scenes are short and nothing is shown that doesn't need to be shown to move the story forward. The pace keeps building little by little until it reaches a very unexpected climax. What brings the ending down a bit is the calm pace that returns after you thought the movie was over.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: The film starts as a drama, then slowly but surely transitions into a thriller. By the end, "Match Point" is a nail-biting experience like no other. A clear ace from Allen!

7 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Match Point" is very unpredictable, and at least for me, it was practically impossible to predict what would happen.

1. Svenska Dagbladet
Translated from swedish: There's far too much talk about films being in the spirit of Hitchcock or Hitchcock's style. The truth is that few even come close. But Woody Allen actually gives the master a run for his money in "Match Point", which I didn't expect. It's simply creepily thrilling. And the casting couldn't have been better.
