Reviews for Queen Christina

Queen Christina (1933) is one of Greta Garbo's quintessential, most-remembered screen portrayals (and one of her finest films), with glowing scenes
01/01/00
The whole is less than the sum of its parts, but it is of interest for four great scenes, one great closeup, and a homosexual subtext that was daring for its time.

This is one of the few Garbo performances that hasn't dated badly.

Rueben Mamoulian may have taken great liberty to change the historical facts to fit his film but it's a very entertaining one especially because Garbo is in every scene.

We are left to regard Garbo's beauty and guess at her thoughts as she sails to a destiny only she can see.
