Monica, a young Swedish small town girl is dreaming of the vibrant city jazz clubs. She embarks on an intense journey in the limelight as a celebrated singer and actress in the golden era of jazz. Among artists and hipsters she is cherished by all but herself as her phenomenal success leaves a trail of broken love affairs and promises. When the morning breaks she's alone with a cocktail in her hand on a road with no turning back. (Verleiher-Text)

I like biopics, and I think Monica Z was pretty good. Edda Magnason portrayed Monica Zetterlund very believably. I'm glad to have learned something about this excellent jazz singer, although perhaps the alcohol escapades certainly amounted to more than what the creators have lightly outlined here. Her life was by no means easy. Simply beauty, talent, and fame do not guarantee anyone that with such a more than pleasant set of attributes, they will inevitably be happy. Musically, I have nothing to fault the film for, and I found that jazz sung in Swedish definitely has its charm, and in Monica's performance, it is also extremely sophisticated.
