Darling (2007 Swedish film)

Darling is a 2007 Swedish drama film directed by Johan Kling. The film stars Michelle Meadows as Eva, a young woman navigating the complexities of modern life in Stockholm.

The film explores themes of identity, ambition, and the pressures of a superficial society. Eva, a seemingly carefree and attractive woman, works in public relations and becomes entangled in a relationship with a much older, wealthy businessman. As she moves through high-society circles, she confronts questions of self-worth, authenticity, and the meaning of her relationships.

Darling received critical acclaim for its nuanced portrayal of its characters and its insightful commentary on contemporary Swedish culture. It was nominated for several awards, including Best Film at the Guldbagge Awards (the Swedish equivalent of the Oscars). The film is noted for its realistic dialogue, strong performances, and its unflinching look at the lives of young, urban professionals.
