Dagbladet.no (16. februar 1999) --

OFTEST I NORSK FILM: Bjørn Sundquist (50) filmdebuterte i «Kronprinsen» for tjue år siden. Kritikerne skrev «så godt det er å se et nytt og ubrukt fjes».

Bjørns øye på filmene: ... 1998: SWEETWATER: Filmen ble tatt opp på en ekte søppelplass utenfor Roma i 40 varmegrader. - Sverre Anker Ousdal skulle løpe barbeint. Han måtte derfor gå rundt på fyllinga uten sko. Jeg fikk heldigvis beholde mine på.
