4 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Stephen King's The Green Mile" consistently radiates high quality throughout three surprisingly short hours, from the framing story at an upscale nursing home to "the green mile" - the 1930s prison corridor where inmates also await death. Every frame has been crafted with care and skill.

3 / 4
Translated from swedish: In its own audience-pleasing way, "Stephen King's The Green Mile" carries a somewhat pompous grandeur. It's a proud film. It wants you to care about what's happening beneath the surface – it comes with the weight of its own footsteps and encourages a close reading.

3 / 6
Translated from swedish: Just like in many other fairy tales, the plot is extremely predictable, the nuances stripped away, and the moral easily digestible. The villains quickly reveal themselves through their expressions and actions - the next dramatic step would have been horns on their foreheads - and everyone gets the punishment or reward they deserve. Which, despite other good qualities such as excellent acting and sardonic humor, robs "Stephen King's The Green Mile" of the backbone it would have needed to survive beyond the movie theater.

Translated from swedish: "Stephen King's The Green Mile" is a story about love, God and life while also being a tale of evil, injustice and brutality. It is masterfully executed in every respect and each time I watch it, my passion for cinema is reborn, and perhaps even I myself am renewed in the broadest sense. Without a doubt the best Stephen King adaptation.
