Fanny and Alexander Ratings & Reviews

Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025
How a project of this size and vision comes together with such clarity still blows my mind. Every scene is dripping with detail that you know has been painstakingly crafted but hangs there like it's been waiting to be filmed for a century. The acting is some of the most natural I've seen and the story is a slow turning of a screw with a couple of hammer blows thrown in from the invisible man. The version I saw was three hours long and every second felt worthwhile. Recommended.
