Under The Sun is a decent, polished and rather coy romantic indulgence, just the kind of thing for people who like the idea of the farm but can't abide the dirt.
It's like an Ingmar Bergman parody of what used to be racy about Swedish cinema -- sexy and sentimental and absolutely gorgeous to look at.
What's most surprising -- and enjoyable -- is Under the Sun's earnestness and simplicity.
Not much happens in Under the Sun, nor does it need to.
A charming, finely nuanced romance.
Try to block out the heavy-handed symbolism and predictable plot, and concentrate on the wonderful Lassgärd.
A very simple, very mild romance but a nice one.
This charmingly low-key Swedish comedy is handsomely filmed and cleverly put together.
Under the Sun succeeds in direct proportion to one's ability to fall in sync with its tentative pace and low-keyed mood.
Brilliantly acted, achingly affecting and superbly photographed, Under the Sun is everything you'd want from a great love story.
If there was a subtle, truthful way to tell the sappy story of Under the Sun, the director Colin Nutley was unable to find it.
... a sweet and touching story of first love.
Cute but it falls short of a total success. Think of it as grumpy middle aged men but with Swedishness throughout.
Super Reviewer
Redemptive tale, lyrically told and filmed in golden hues, of a lonely Swedish farmer who hires a mysterious housekeeper with a past: can they save each other? Simplicity and the importance of trust have seldom looked so good.
