Kronjuvelerna

I just finished watching this. I really don't understand why this is getting such a low rating on this site. I wonder how many of the reviewers even watched the whole thing.

This film is part heavy drama, part surreal fantasy. All storytelling. Good storytelling. It takes its time. Great character development.

One constant characteristic of this movie are plot turns every few minutes which surprise the viewer. The director seems highly skilled at this.

Finally, a very good musical score completes the film.

My only criticism would be that the film is a bit too long; the director has indulged themselves. But who am I to judge such a solid work? Thanks for making this.

Cannot for the life of me understand such a low rating. This film has everything, story, characters, sadness, happiness and great acting from all. The poor critics clearly have no understanding of life whatsoever! Ignore them and watch this.

People frequently refer to this movie as Burtonesque, which sounds great in my ears. Sadly, the truth is that it is nowhere near. Sure, the setting is beautiful and has that ooze of modern fairy tale, not completely unlike Burton's Big Fish. But the resemblances stop there.

This is a movie with high ambitions, for that it should be rewarded alone. Sadly it does not deliver even half of what it aims at. A shallow story full of clichés and a painfully poorly directed dialog makes me reach for the remote more than one time.

Not even the innovative setting, nor Loa Falkman's portrayal make this movie worth while.

I just finished watching "The Crown Jewels" and i find it absolutely gorgeous. A great example of European cinema. Beautiful decors, deep and meaningful story line, unexpected turns and amazing acting game. The movie is kind of dark (not surprising, according to the fact that this is a Scandinavian movie). The characters are very complicated - they wavering between love and hate,they got angry at the world, deeply unhappy, each of them stuck into his/ hers personal hell.But you still could find everything in it - hope, desperation and the forgiveness...after all. Things change in every brief moment...and life goes on.. Beautiful actress Alicia Vikander (as Fragancia) did amazing performance, as always. I don't understand why "The Crown Jewels" is rated so low in IMDb ,this movie deserves much more then 5.8 I only hope they didn't really kill poor little bunny because of this movie...

Great directing, great acting, magnificent script.

Just way too sad. The redeeming of the characters in the end comes too late and is a little unbalanced - only that leads me to give it 8 stars.

For everyone who has enjoyed Amelie, or Big Fiss, or Mr. Nobody, this will be a great movie.

It has it all, passion, death, innocence, humor, crime, life's roughness and life's lessons, a little magic, some sad poetry and a story so strong and so original you will be able to unglue your eyes from the screen.
