Kungen

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..

This documentary gave me anxiety. Who put this journalist on this assignment, downright embarrassing. Not being able to read situations or address royalty in the right way is both embarrassing and painful to watch.

To be given this opportunity to meet the king and the royal family and not manage it better is scandalous.

Who has approved the music selection in this documentary? It was terrible from start to finish...

she spoke nothing of his successes and all the good he has done during his time as king Who has approved the music selection in this documentary? It was terrible from start to finish...

We have a fantastic royal family and it's sad that the right person didn't get this opportunity instead and could make a more professional and real documentary, this one is really wasted. Karin af Klintberg should continue to stick to children's programs.

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.

What looked like a promising documentary at the beginning slowly gets more and more cringeworthy with each interview of the King by a pushy and disrespectful journalist who treats him like a child but at the same time seems desperate for his approval. I am surprised that the King even finished the film as he was clearly displeased and uncomfortable with the rude and intrusive manner displayed by interviewer/ director Karin af Klintberg. If you are looking for an example of how NOT to interview an important person this film clearly demonstrates it. By the end the clear winner is the King who conducts himself professionally and honourably with a sense of humour at times. The clear loser is Karin af Klintberg.
