Leave your thoughts about A Somewhat Gentle Man.
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiYou'll find yourself engrossed -- not just somewhat but completely. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumSkarsgard's utter finesse in the role provides a satisfying warmth. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Lindy WestA Somewhat Gentle Man is a slow, dark, somewhat gentle comedy-just when you think you're bored, you notice it's under your skin. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrFor a passive-depressive Norwegian crime drama with not a lot in the way of plot, A Somewhat Gentle Man has a charmingly fluky sense of humor. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonSkarsgard, who is perhaps best known for "Good Will Hunting" and "Breaking the Waves," makes the most of his rich role, imbuing Ulrik with a knockabout charm. |
| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh...a quiet film full of quirky details (a Lappish arms dealer and his dwarf sidekick; the Polish version of Dancing with the Stars on Ulrik's tiny television set), and a worthy addition to the noir comedy genre... |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereLike many films from this perennially sun- deprived part of the world, "A Somewhat Gentle Man" mixes light and dark humor and sexual candor with an entrenched sense of world-weariness and despair. |
| Filmcritic.comChris BarsantiSkarsgard's performance is precise and cautious but commanding all the same |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIn A Somewhat Gentle Man, a deadpan comedy best described as the Coen Brothers Norwegian style, Stellan Skarsgard is colorless and oddly configured, like a potato fallen from the sack. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatWell-acted story of an ex-con struggling to make a fresh start and finding that the people in his new life are creating roadblocks. |
