“I spent time with Annica on our Oscar nominated film, The Square. She is an absolute joy to work with, a talented actress and beautiful human being inside and out. Annica is a true professional, however, she also brings a light and calm to the room.”
“Annica is a wonderful actress. She went through our audition process to land this role, which included a final improvisation with me. She passed these rather challenging tests in a very convincing way.”
“I wanted to work with you again after Partisan. As soon as I had finished the script for A Day and a Half, you were the one I saw in the role of Anna. You are such a skilled actress.”
“Annica Liljeblad is not only a fantastic actress. She is also a real pleasure to work with, a true team player.”
“It is so easy to work with you. Your reading is truly engaging, your voice is a pleasure to listen to and your diction is perfect. You speak clearly without over-enunciating, and you bring a feeling to both dialogue and narration that captivates without ever becoming exaggerated.”
