missmarmite I really don't know why people rated this film so low. Have they seen the same film as I have? The film is so good!I only speak little Swedish, so I'm glad the Swedish DVD has subtitles in English. But they seem to work because I love this film so much! Not only the crème de la crème of Swedish actors and actresses are in this little gem together, the composition of the whole film is just great. The editing works brilliantly. The music inclusive the "song on TV" is well chosen, everything about this film is just right. What more can you ask for? I can warmly recommend it to everybody who loves the Swedish language, good jokes, crazy situations and acting.8 out of 10. Or maybe 9? Yes, 9 out of 10.

VirginiaK_NYC I loved this movie. As noted in the summary, it's about several women who all hope to be cast in the re-make of the Greta Garbo Swedish historical film, Queen Christina--this is the circumstance that provides the tension/motor for the film. And then what it is is a great entertainment involving interlocking stories in the lives of these women, much of it quite funny. Most of them appear to be over 45, which makes it especially enjoyable for grownups--a story with loads of energy and intensity about women who are past their youth.

freddi1972 Well, a comment ought to be critical and subjective. But I can´t. I love this movie. After a couple of years whit pale swedish movies I must say this gives hope for Swedish film. Since Ingmar Bergman it has been thin in the swedish gallery of moviecreators. A couple of years ago we had Lukas Moodysson whit "Fucking Åmål"... but... Collin Nutleys "Gossip" is a MOVIE.

Loquax The plot itself isn't really worth the trouble queueing for tickets, but la crème de la crème of Swedish actresses in one film are.Margaretha Krook is, as always, doing a splendid performance. Her outstanding skill to act with dignity will never be beaten by anyone.
