The new film is sensitive to and respectful of its subject... and does honor to Af Klint and her mad visions.

Instead, Hallström (“My Life as a Dog”) shows her through contemporary doubters’ eyes as a grief-stricken madwoman, making what could have been a richer delve dull and pedantic.

“Hilma” shows how the sexism and rigidity of the art establishment in her time made it difficult for an outsider and general oddball like af Klint to be recognized and appreciated.

They took an important life and turned her into a melodramatic mess. Sappy "love" story about a genius painter . Where did they ever get that she binged ate when she was anxious. So disappointing save your money watch the documentary

This is a sympathetic biographical dramatisation of the life and work of Hilma af Klint, showing the motivation behind her art, and her journey with Spiritism (spiritual and scientific and philosophy codified by Allan Kardec in the 1850s) and mediumship. Although a bit long in places, and some low budget blue-screen work, it carefully portrays the inspiration, relationships and trials of af Klint. Well worth watching if you have any interest in art, spirituality or mediumship.
