I am American and we found "Arn" quite watchable even though it did not have English sub titles. We worked through the Swedish subtitles and came begin understanding many parts of the dialog. It did take a while to figure out how Arn actually knew Knut. The directors were on to something when they used the languages of the countries represented in the film, novel touch. ** Spoiler** The flash back scene in the beginning is almost half of the film, it does provide necessary context, but is long. Also a good depiction of medieval life. Some of the earlier reviewers indicated that they thought they were left hanging but the movie had many layers and I did enjoy it. Even with English sub titles I would recommend only to those with patience.
