Jose Solís Common Sense Media May 5, 2026
4/5
This Swedish dramedy, based on a bestselling book, works beautifully as a story about reinvention, but also acts as a reminder that life doesn't begin or end when other people decide it should. Go to Full Review

4/5
Through absurd, tender, and slightly awkward moments, the film constructs a simple portrait of a woman who begins to fill the void she had left for years. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

It sometimes can be a bit much in the melodrama and comedy departments, a little try-hardy perhaps, but it’s otherwise a gentle, sweet and heartwarming bit of sentimentality whose core emotions ring true. Go to Full Review

As soon as I finished this movie yesterday, I felt immediately lighter, like I could accomplish anything, and that life isn’t over just because I’ve reached a point in it where the starting line looks further away than the finish, catch my drift? Go to Full Review

Henry D @Henry_Domke 2 days ago It was a dud. We stayed with it for over an hour, but finally bailed out. We probably would have quit much sooner if it hadn't been set in France. Eva Melander was very good at playing an utterly ordinary middle-aged woman, but the character was so dull that I had no interest in spending two hours with her. The humor didn't work for us, and there was no subtlety. There was plenty of absurdity and endless sexual and gay references, but none of it was funny or interesting. Even the flamboyant old gay man, with his outrageous clothes and behavior, somehow managed to be boring. See more Susan R @CaliMom Sep 12, 2026 Fabulous film! Watching Agneta becoming herself was heartwarming See more Par H @Parhwy Aug 13, 2026 Je M'Appelle Agneta (2026) 113-minute-long Swedish drama Netflix August 2026. I felt that this film was overly long and a curious admixture of uninteresting-interesting: a lot of second screen time on this one. The production values and ‘look’ are fine, good. While I am CIS-het male, I was engaged with Agneta and with Einar. And yet… I kept imagining being neighbours with him and I cringed. I did enjoy the scene where Agneta is imagining and describing Einar’s house back-in-the-day. Other scenes were Kmart. Rewatch? No. Recommend? No. 5/10.

See more S B @RT79301828 Jul 16, 2026 I loved this sooooo much! The story, the characters, the setting.....what a gem of a movie, a beautiful experience!
