Kungen

This documentary only showed that the king of Sweden is a white man born on the 1940s without the ability to talk about feelings or go deep. It has a lot to ask for and I wish not the queen and Victoria would have been given a bigger role as it would have broaden the picture. What I did like is the fact that Silvia said "I love you' to the king and he replied "shhhh". I would have wished more of those things, more of them being human beings just as you and I. Not someone you can't even call "you". It's a weird tradition and I hope it doesn't last that long, cause I can see the money being spent way better.

The production should have 10 stars. The filming was excellent. Beautiful pictures. Beautiful light. Beautiful scenes. The music very well chosen. The scenes without speaking has a great effect.. The journalist was no good. She didn't create a room for the king to feel confident and maybe losen up and tell more about himself. Instead she put the spotllight on herself. She came to play a role in the way she interviewed the king and that is a big failure. He is the one we want to learn about. Not her. It was like 'me, myself, I'. Of course the title says it: 'The Kind and I', but it's a shame she missed her chance to make a really good documentary.

Aims High and delivers. The interviewer/producer Karin Af Klintberg is one of Swedens best documentary makers.

She puts faith in the pictures, here it isong sequences with great photography and cinematic music, a lot of classical music and opera. A bit pretentious and I love it.

Not a journalistic piece but has some cinematic ambitions.

The story about the king is somewhat untold. He had a struggle in his life with his dad passing away early and he has to take on the role as the king. The king is surprisingly open and delivers a good performance.

This is much better than I would ever hoped for, even though I really like Karin Af Klingberg's style. As for the negative reviews, we'll this is not a portrait to please royalists. This is something more, a deeply human picture. All thumbs up.

The journalist tried her best to destroy the interviews just to challenge the normal way you speak to the king. Would like to see her try a new documentary about the Saudi king in Saudi. That would be interesting so to speak...

Clearly biased towards making the king and the whole thing of a monarchy to look bad. Disrespecting and playing stupid to make every single interview awkward. The King is now old enough to not really care about a little girl playing stupid to make him look bad. Could have been interesting but it was so obvious the whole documentary had only one goal and I recognized that to early to be able to really watch the rest with any interest..

No mention about successes or what the king actually does. It's just full of negativity. Questions are disrespectful and probing. It would have been better to get to know the king. Instead he was pushed against the wall and he put up his guard.

How can you put this out and be proud? A huge possibility lost. You put the king under a microscope, instead of creating mutual trust.

So in essence what you're saying in your film is that he's a human who has challenges like everyone else. And you give an incredible amount of space for negativity. It's very challenging to watch.

The soundtrack is from hell itself. I'm gonna have nightmares about this one.
