Margrete den første

When i came across that movie i knew that i must see it. As a huge fan of historic movies, my expectations were high ,however, the movie itself let me quite disappointed. The storytelling is good although i found myself bored and sometimes instead of watching i checked my mobile phone. In my opinion the other characters deserved more space in order to better describe their backgrounds as well as intentions. I could recommend the movie to everyone who is interested in history or good drama.

Yes I do!

From the world 'go' I was in awe! On such a large screen emerged a magnificent scenery with a haunting and beautiful music that introduced this wonderful story.

Wonderful not because everything was rosy, but because real roses do have thorns... So beauty, sorrow and pain creates wonders.

I'm not a historian or a politician but I enjoyed every minutes of this tale.

I'm not a truth's diciple either and what unfolded in front of my eyes was so good nontheless. And it certainly kept me interested its whole time.

For me it was also refreshing to see something so good with actors / actresses I never came across before.

It was too good for me, to try to see if I could criticise it in any way; as again, for me, its weight of quality did sufocate any negative aspect that may have been present.

I never give a score but I'm surprised Margrete Queen of the North did not get a higher score ; although I understand at time of my visit here, there were only 15 reviews... I have seen movies that I hold in very high esteem for specific reasons. But this one will be also at the top of my "likes" for no specific reasons, simply because it was so enjoyable.

High quality all the way. Excellent actors and touching story. The best movie I have seen in a long time. I had wet eyes by the acting and the story. Trine Dyrholm is just incredible.

I think this is he best medieval age movie made in Scandinavia so far, and tells the story about when Queen Margrete I was told she lost her son to the plague, and then he turned up many years later. Or did he?

She was quit convinced but noone seemed to recognize him as grown up.

He was also the single heir, and was claiming the throne, which was seen as an opportunity for an impostor.

Well played, great storytelling as well as perfect setting.

A correct historical film, seductive for admirable acting of Trine Dyrholm, for atmosphere and for structure of story.

A queen and her duties. The peace, with hard effort created, and its fragility. Two sons and an union . Questions about power, legitimity and a marriage.

The result is a correct film, the fiction reigning , the historical facts being used as start points.

The great virtue - the fair construction of tension, the clothes and dances and the smart structure of intrigue , at each level.

In short, a beautiful Dansk film , seductive for the peace message, for portrait of strong and powerful woman and, sure, for the admirable Trine Dyrholm and Soren Malling. Many familiar scenes and the history in its essence.
