7/10
Interesting and boring...

I wouldn't consider this the best movie I've ever seen but it was quite interesting about Queen Christina and her lesbian affair with Ebba Sparre, her lady-in-waiting. I suppose, it was rather interesting to go deep into her short term as a leader of Sweden. I never even heard of her before until today, I saw this movie. I reckon if you live in Sweden, you would know who Queen Christina is.

I have to say Malin Buska is a good Swedish actress in this, she reminds me of Kirsten Dunst with her beauty. I liked in the film that herself and Sarah Gadon relationship were in a dangerous love together. It does make the film feel powerful and so Victorian! Although I didn't like in this film that the scenes dragged on and this film is nearly 2 hours, it should've been an hour and 16 minutes. It would do rightly and earn 10 stars.

If you like watching Victorian then you'll like this!
