Faithless, based on the 2000 film directed by Liv Ullman and written by Ingmar Bergman, has premiered on SVT to fantastic reviews.
The lauded TV series is directed by Tomas Alfredson from scripts adapted by writer Sara Johnsen.
“The sinfully sexy TV series version of Faithless outshines the original feature film. /…/ It is incredible to see how Tomas Alfredson and the Norwegian screenwriter Sara Johnsen make this old story their own. They latch on to that which feels timeless about breakups and divorce. And they touch down on the most important old key scenes, whilst otherwise acting freely and independently.”
– DN, Sweden ★★★★★
“A beautiful monument to the consequences of infidelity. /…/ It’s elegant, glossy, and, just like a good flirt, utterly impossible to look away from.”
– SvD, Sweden ★★★★★
“Brilliant Bergman remake. /…/ A drama that hits all the perfect notes.”
– SR P1, Sweden ★★★★★
“Heartbreaking and piercing /…/ Beautiful, well-acted, poignant and emotionally charged – Faithless is a Swedish TV series treasure which moves you deeply and challenges our ideas about love, power, and betrayal.”
– Moviezine, Sweden ★★★★★
“This is what Swedish film should be like. /…/ This is an adaptation that gets everything right, with adjustments that truly add value.”
– Filmtopp, Sweden ★★★★
“The script, the dialogue, the actors – everything human that drives the story is magnificent.”

It’s a stunning debut by a young author, who in a spot-on way portrays the burdens of aging and the often-accompanying patronizing attitude from the surroundings.

Paradis City has thrilling ambitions worthy of applause. Prime Video (…) may very well have a hit on their hands.

The Russos make the most of their enormous budget, with a boatload of impressive visual effects, faithful recreations of Stålenhag’s epic vistas, and some nicely analogue art direction.

The Stranger Things star, Chris Pratt and the Russo Brothers have made a Spielbergian treat. /…/ (…) what fun it is to watch a film this expensive and not be able to quite work out where it’s going – or even if it might just stay put for a bit, and soak up the dustily poetic death-of-the-American century vibe.
– The Telegraph
The Electric State is good. (…) [It’s] entertaining, stylish, and lavish. /…/ The 90s had little to nothing to do with the book, but it is the focus here, and in more ways than one, I think it works… and really well too. /…/ I had fun, from start to finish.
