A fantastic film that has many things going for it. Garbo's face is so enchanting . . . It's something beyond superficial beauty though . . . Her whole performance is enthralling - bewitching face and all. Highly recommended.

Surprisingly enjoyable. And I doubt real Queen Christina wore lipstick back then, so if you just buy into the convention it shouldn't really worry you that much.

While watchable, I found it rather unbelievable that they couldn't figure out that the "man" wearing lipstick and with the woman's hairstyle wasn't a woman. At first I thought they were calling her sir because of her being who she was.
