DesiAnge 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...

Linus Masimov 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.

hugofreitasxavier 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.

Nooomie I don't understand people who say this is a BAD movie. It was great! Maybe the movie was a little surreal, but that's the point. You should not watch this movie if you are going to take everything to freaking serious. The acting, the directing and the filming was really good, it wasn't Oscar-good but it was GOOD. I like it because it is a well done, original movie who did make me both cry and laugh. Its a movie filled with warmth. So whoever says this is a bad movie, haven't seen a bad movie. I may be Swedish, but believe me, I don't like this movie because it is Swedish (normally I hate Swedish movies..). But again, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE if you are one of them who thinks everything in movies should be 100% realistic, and do NOT watch if you are a right-wing nationalist who thinks everything in this film is political.
