Kungen

Had looked forward to this documentary. Unfortunately the interviewer totally lacks the ability to adapt to the situation and addressing the king and royal family. Her way of communicating and interviewing the king at times comes across as insensitive and disrespectful. The questions many times are inappropriate, bad or strangely worded. It is noticeably that the king is annoyed by this. The interviewer should wastes an opportunity to get to know the king and understand his world and emotions by asking these questions. Positives are the nice shots and video clips from the archives but that's about it.

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.

What looked like a promising documentary at the beginning slowly gets more and more cringeworthy with each interview of the King by a pushy and disrespectful journalist who treats him like a child but at the same time seems desperate for his approval. I am surprised that the King even finished the film as he was clearly displeased and uncomfortable with the rude and intrusive manner displayed by interviewer/ director Karin af Klintberg. If you are looking for an example of how NOT to interview an important person this film clearly demonstrates it. By the end the clear winner is the King who conducts himself professionally and honourably with a sense of humour at times. The clear loser is Karin af Klintberg.

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.

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.
