Translated from swedish: How often do we go to the movies and see something that seems written in runic script and that is deciphered from fire and clay? Our semi-Ragnaroek contemporary is worthy of a drugged Viking-Hamlet.

Translated from swedish: Those sensitive to blood are warned about this physical Viking epic starring Alexander Skarsgård, where every frame is like a work of art. A genuinely unparalleled film.

Translated from swedish: In Robert Eggers' hands, something magical happens. He is a director who impresses more and more with each new film, and makes sure to give the audience chills - of discomfort or pleasure? Often both.

Translated from swedish: An inflated Viking adventure that surpasses most that has been done in the genre.

Translated from swedish: Fasten your seatbelt and turn off the unfruitful impulses in the context of the idea that people might be able to learn from their mistakes and forgive each other or seek compromises. Such films exist, and you could certainly make one in this environment too, but that's not what this film is about.
- Johan Lindahl

Translated from swedish: It's a violent, furious story about love, hate, and betrayal. It is also a visual masterpiece that shows the costume designers in Hollywood that it is still possible to make a thundering big-budget film without drowning it in CGI.

Translated from swedish: As a whole, this is a cornucopia of blood, fly agaric, and cold steel that etches itself directly onto the retina. Eggers continues to convince.

Translated from swedish: Magical, epic, grand, beautiful but also brutal

Translated from swedish: The film is like war poetry, a blood-chilling chant that soldiers chant before a battle to freeze the heart to steel.
- Oscar Westerholm

Translated from swedish: The atmosphere has always been important in Egger's films, but it really takes the baton in "The Northman". Rather than a film to think about, it is something that is best taken in and felt. See this incredibly detailed world that Egger builds through the incredibly beautiful photography of the equally beautiful Icelandic countryside. Feel

Translated from swedish: A violent, dark but slightly contrived and watered-down Viking story that simply isn't strange enough.
- Marcus Persson

Translated from swedish: There is a lack of real depth, and it sometimes feels like you're just skimming the surface of history. At times, the film also felt rushed and a bit chaotic, without a clear focus. In my opinion, they could have done so much more with the story than what they ultimately gave us.

Translated from swedish: The muscles are pumped to the max and the blood is gushing when Alexander Skarsgård plays a Viking in "The Northman". Luckily for him, Hollywood finds Vikings so exotic.

Translated from swedish: Robert Eggers' fans will surely like "The Northman". Pretentious, boring, and uneventful is their melody. The film music is rather irritating, by the way. There is a lot of throat singing.
