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.

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.
The journalist tried her best to destroy the interviews just to challenge the normal way you speak to the king. Would like to see her try a new documentary about the Saudi king in Saudi. That would be interesting so to speak...
Clearly biased towards making the king and the whole thing of a monarchy to look bad. Disrespecting and playing stupid to make every single interview awkward. The King is now old enough to not really care about a little girl playing stupid to make him look bad. Could have been interesting but it was so obvious the whole documentary had only one goal and I recognized that to early to be able to really watch the rest with any interest..

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.
