I thought I knew what the movie would be like and how it would end but I was quite delightfully surprised at the comeuppance of the main character. And by the main character, I don't mean Ehrengard. Though she is a delightful person, as another reviewer mentioned, she has not much to do in the first two-thirds of the movie except sit on a pedastal. And yet, she shines at the end with a remarkable turnaround.

This is totally delightful and totally ridiculous...a mash up of Sheridan, Moliere and Wilde--with some gorgeous sets, an attractive main cast, and somewhat witheringly fake long shots of the supposed landscape. Knudsen, from Borgen, can really do no wrong. She's marvelous, as is Folsgard. Don't worry about neatening up all the pitfalls that the movie places in front of the characters...there is no rational outcome, just a fun outcome.

I don't know what movie Rotten Tomatoes (or its reviewers) was watching. 40? Really? I found this movie an utter delight, from its typical Karen Blixen/Isaac Dinesen source material, to the "Die Forelle" settings peppered throughout the soundtrack, to the pitch-perfect performances by the main actors. The title character was played by director Suzanne Bier's daughter Alice Bier Zanden - let's hope we see her again soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely charming! Humorous, romantic, sexy. Gorgeous production design and costumes designed by Denmark's Queen Margrethe! I normally don't watch movies twice but I will watch this again.

Further, for a film whose title is the name of the woman of Casotte's desire, one might think that more of the story would involve the titular character, but save for the last quarter of the film, Ehrengard has very little to do or say in the film.

Rated: 2/5

Movie Nation

Once this picture finally rises out of its torpor, it’s damned delightful. The third act has action, intrigues, comedy and a jaw-dropping surprise or two. More’s the pity since the opening acts are such a sexless, humorless drag.

Rated: 2/4

Ehrengard is a charming romantic fairy tale that’s perfectly light and breezy if you take it as the farce that it is and aren’t looking for some kind of serious revisionist feminist fairy tale.

This looks to be a fantasy romantic period drama, but unfortunately contains many of the problematic misogynistic attitudes and behaviors that no longer have a place in society, unless they’re being used as commentary or cautionary tale.

Rated: 1.5/5

Ready Steady Cut

It’s wonderfully well-crafted and combines romance, humor, and intrigue so well that you will want to watch this film over again.
