It's a picturesque movie, filled with advertisements for Sweden's crashing waterfalls, deep woods and stony caverns. Go to Full Review

Tia B 11/03/2024 One of my all time favourite movies. It combines the lightness of a childhood in nature with serious and challenging topics, such as the tension between youre ideals and goals as an adult and the relationship with youre child aswell as the issue of loyalty to friends and family. The childlike lightness and the exploration of these more serious topics are woven together beautifully and create a relaxing, heartwarming yet also educational movie experience. A worthy filming of Astrid Lindgrens wonderfull classic. See more Cees T 10/21/2024 So slow, it could be a 4 part miniseries. The baddies are harpies, trolls, selkies(?), humans, and gnomes, but the battles are mostly offscreen. It's an okay romantic drama, but for plot see The NeverEnding Story (also from 1984). See more 08/13/2012 Classic and a film every kid in Sweden should see and I think they do. See more 07/04/2011 Childhood memories! Loved the book. Nice movie, just sweet and kind. Beautiful scenery, and too great that it is in Swedish. :-) See more 07/13/2010 'Ronja: The Robber's Daughter' remains as one of my favourite childhood stories. Seen the film twice and all I can say is that the magic still remains. The characters are lovable and the acting decent. It's a perfect family movie, because there's enough excitement to keep the more mature audience interested and the younger ones on the edge of their seats.
