Stockholm, My Love

2016

Drama. Musical This multilayered metropolitan symphony is, at once, a music film, a love letter to the city, an intimate study of grief, and an urbanistic essay. Architect Alva (Neneh Cherry) doesn’t make it to her class, instead choosing to stroll through the city while her contemplation of her surroundings mingles with her own memories of the most traumatic experience of her life.

	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"'Stockholm My Love' scores highly in its visual and musical elements (...) Cousins' work is often more admirable for its ambition than its artistry, but at his best he achieves a kind of sublime poetry."	POS
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"This is very much aesthetic self-indulgence (...) Mark Cousins is never going to be a multiplex superstar, but his distinctive brand of film essay has a way of getting under the skin (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"The mix of fact and fiction is a little confusing, but a strong sense of warm enquiry pulls it through (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An intriguing and palate-cleansing work, ruminative and cerebral, with a literary feel, like an elegant European novella in translation (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"Cherry has a certain magnetism (...) There are plenty of striking moments (...) It’s a soothing experience, though, and one that certainly highlights the beauty of the city it is showcasing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Kate Muir The Times	"The thin gruel of this film failed to resonate with me. His 'I Am Belfast' was a similar combination of city and fantasy, but had real heart and politics (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Radio Times	"As ever, Cousins draws on an impressive range of influences, but this feels more accessible than some of his earlier odysseys (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
