Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Skarsgard, who is perhaps best known for "Good Will Hunting" and "Breaking the Waves," makes the most of his rich role, imbuing Ulrik with a knockabout charm.

A sly delight.

fresh:
"A Somewhat Gentle Man'' is welcome, in part because Skarsgard is almost the whole show but also because the actor doesn't use the role as an excuse to put on a big performance - to do more. On the contrary, he quite wonderfully does less.

fresh:
