Kungen

This documentary gave me anxiety. Who put this journalist on this assignment, downright embarrassing. Not being able to read situations or address royalty in the right way is both embarrassing and painful to watch.

To be given this opportunity to meet the king and the royal family and not manage it better is scandalous.

Who has approved the music selection in this documentary? It was terrible from start to finish...

she spoke nothing of his successes and all the good he has done during his time as king Who has approved the music selection in this documentary? It was terrible from start to finish...

We have a fantastic royal family and it's sad that the right person didn't get this opportunity instead and could make a more professional and real documentary, this one is really wasted. Karin af Klintberg should continue to stick to children's programs.

This documentary only showed that the king of Sweden is a white man born on the 1940s without the ability to talk about feelings or go deep. It has a lot to ask for and I wish not the queen and Victoria would have been given a bigger role as it would have broaden the picture. What I did like is the fact that Silvia said "I love you' to the king and he replied "shhhh". I would have wished more of those things, more of them being human beings just as you and I. Not someone you can't even call "you". It's a weird tradition and I hope it doesn't last that long, cause I can see the money being spent way better.

No mention about successes or what the king actually does. It's just full of negativity. Questions are disrespectful and probing. It would have been better to get to know the king. Instead he was pushed against the wall and he put up his guard.

How can you put this out and be proud? A huge possibility lost. You put the king under a microscope, instead of creating mutual trust.

So in essence what you're saying in your film is that he's a human who has challenges like everyone else. And you give an incredible amount of space for negativity. It's very challenging to watch.

The soundtrack is from hell itself. I'm gonna have nightmares about this one.

I was incredibly excited to watch this documentary with exclusive access to the life of the King of Sweden. However, for the most part, the host wasted a unique opportunity by at times appearing unprepared, unaware of proper manners when engaging in conversation with royalty, and exhibited poor journalism by not properly determining whether or not a question was appropriate. It was rather obvious throughout the documentary that the core issue was concerning the "be or not to be" of Swedish monarchy, as opposed to utilizing this opportunity to extensively review and portray the life and times of a King who has served for over 50 years. The documentary did mostly give accurate and relevant depictions of both highlights and controversies surrounding the King.

The production should have 10 stars. The filming was excellent. Beautiful pictures. Beautiful light. Beautiful scenes. The music very well chosen. The scenes without speaking has a great effect.. The journalist was no good. She didn't create a room for the king to feel confident and maybe losen up and tell more about himself. Instead she put the spotllight on herself. She came to play a role in the way she interviewed the king and that is a big failure. He is the one we want to learn about. Not her. It was like 'me, myself, I'. Of course the title says it: 'The Kind and I', but it's a shame she missed her chance to make a really good documentary.
