Dennis Harvey Variety You don't get a lot of Lisbeth Salander here. But you do get an overview of fascist/nationalist movements in Sweden and beyond over recent decades, which lends this well-crafted effort interest well beyond the strictly biographical. Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Stieg Larsson: The Man who Played with Fire is exciting in the way it covers various different points of interest, while incorporating just enough of Larsson's personal life. Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The best-selling author's life was just as compelling as his fiction. Jan 26, 2019 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Riveting. May 17, 2023 Full Review Samantha Edwards NOW Toronto With the rise of populism and alt-right movements in Europe and North America, the doc leaves you wondering what Larsson would make of the current state of politics. Rated: 4/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Brent Hankins The Lamplight Review Stieg Larsson: The Man Who Played With Fire is particularly unnerving due to its timeliness, as there are clear parallels between the events portrayed here and our current political climate in the United States.
