A very tragic story, portrayed and told by actors with different ranges of skills.
As a swede and someone who did not know the story of Peter Levin, I was sat very confused for many minutes wondering if Levin was supposed to be a swede played terribly by a Dane, or if he actually was danish... The movie could have incorporated that detail a lot sooner in the film to avoid the whole cinema laughing every time he opened his mouth.
I thought the AFX-effects were mediocre, especially the smoke/fire effects. It looked...bad. This is not unusual for swedish productions, but I expected more from this Persbrandt movie.
I also thought the last shot of Dag was an interesting director's choice... It felt a bit underwhelming.
Over-all, I recommend this movie if you want to learn more about what happened to Dag Hammarskjöld and his inner struggles!
