10 foreign reviews of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010)

1. Svenska Dagbladet

5 / 6

Translated from swedish: A warm comedy with expected and unexpected expectations - just like life.

2. Arbetet

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: The complications are many and the whole thing is very entertaining. Woody Allen is accused, perhaps rightly so, of sometimes being a bit of a dirty old man, but here he playfully mocks that label and it feels liberating.

3. Nöjesguiden

4 / 6

Translated from swedish: Maybe it's time to drop the old man obsession now? Because it's a shame for an otherwise well-made and entertaining film.

4. Moviezine

3 / 5

Translated from swedish: Our neurotic Allen is playing the same old familiar cards in his new film "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger". A relationship drama with mix-ups, embarrassments, and desire as its main characteristics. Even though it's backed by Naomi Watts, Antonio Banderas, and Anthony Hopkins, this is downright boring at times.

5. Aftonbladet

3 / 5

Translated from swedish: Actors are usually grateful to be part of Woody Allen's films. This time around, it's he who should be thankful. A skilled ensemble elevates a thin story. Much is familiar in the affluent Woody Allen universe, even though the setting this time is London.

6. Dagens Nyheter

3 / 5

Translated from swedish: It would be very depressing if it didn't also feel safe, like solid, to hit rock bottom together with Uncle Allen.

7. Expressen

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film is quite lightweight, somewhat sketchy and contains several familiar Allen ingredients. But it's also one of his most laugh-inducing in recent years.
- Miranda Sigander

8. Sydsvenskan

3 / 5

Translated from swedish: Death always walks by Allen's side
- Mattias Oscarsson

9. Hallands Nyheter

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: Pleasant entertainment with the point that there are no shortcuts to happiness and that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
- Martin Erlandsson

10. Helsingborgs Dagblad

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: A tragicomic comedy about some people who are dissatisfied with their lives. It's a dark outlook that the director himself identifies with.
