The Girl Who Played With Fire

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I liked this true-to-the-story version of v2 of Stieg Larson’s “Girl” trilogy (Swedish-subtitled) but found it a little flat in affect Perhaps because this is the transition, but it just seemed emotionally distanced. Well acted. I’ve become more comfortable with Noomi Rapace’s Lisbeth, although I still don’t see her character as this beautiful. More problematic is that she lacks the harshness of social confusion and coldness that is such a part of Lisbeth’s manner. Still, worth seeing. Michael Nyqvist works as Blomqvist. We’ve still not seen the American version.
