Info

Over a year, we follow the former Swedish Minister of Defense, Anders Björck, in his work as governor of Uppsala County. The official position is almost 400 years old, and the job consists of sitting at a big desk, having lunch meetings with other governors, cutting ribbons at opening ceremonies, holding speeches and eating dinner with the King and Queen of Sweden. It is hard work, but someone has to do it. Björck gives the viewer full access, making this personal portrait both humorous and very, very serious.

Mr. Governor Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Ramalama_FFF I was expecting good things here. Björck is an interesting character in political debates and as far as I can remember this received positive reviews when it was released. Turns out it's just 80 minutes of boredom. But expect pretentious people to call it "brilliant" without any actual arguments. A lot of people have been critical about all those entertaining American documentaries of the 21st century, but the opposite is a not a recipe for success. I suppose there are some nice moments with regards to the formal aspect of film as a medium, but the content is barely there. I give it 3/10 which to me is barely above plain bad.
