Hilma

This historical drama follows the life of Hilma af Klint, a Swedish painter and early pioneer of abstract art. The story examines the circumstances that shaped her work and the challenges she faced in a male-dominated art scene. While her unconventional style and spirituality led to her work being ignored or misunderstood during her lifetime, the narrative tracks her journey from youth to the present day, when her art is finally recognized by a global audience.

The film was written and directed by Lasse Hallström, marking the 19th of his 20 directed films. It follows his 2018 production, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and precedes The Map That Leads to You, released in 2025. The production featured a family collaboration, with Hallström casting his wife, Lena Olin, as the adult Hilma and his daughter, Tora Hallström, as the younger version of the artist. Other cast members include Lily Cole, Tom Wlaschiha, Emmi Tjernström, and Catherine Chalk, among a total of 47 credited actors.

Released in October 2022 as a joint production between the United States and Sweden, the movie received a moderate response from viewers. It holds a rating of 6/10 on IMDb based on 1,300 votes and a rating of 5.3/10 on TMDB from 25 votes.
