Margrete: Queen of the North

"Dyrholm is magnificent as the queen, navigating with stern authority among the disreputable nobles. The director is Charlotte Sieling. She co-wrote the script, which comes with impeccable feminist undertones (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Trine Dyrholm Plays a Game of Thrones in a Lavish, Stately Historical Drama (...) its real dramatic heart is with a smaller, more modest tale" 

"Throughout, both the character and the film constantly keep one guessing as to whether Margrete’s driving impulse leans more in the direction of the maternal or the Machiavellian." 

"[It] contains almost everything that one might want from such a thing—palace intrigue, familial conflict, sex, violence, jealousy, betrayal and so on. What it doesn’t really have is much of anything in the way of a point or purpose (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Blending the grand visuals of a sweeping epic with the psychological unease of a chamber piece, Charlotte Sieling’s feature probes the legacy of Denmark’s Queen Margrete (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A superbly mounted drama set in a variety of Scandinavian countries at the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
