“Visually arresting and emotionally rewarding.”

“Ingimundur is a fascinating character, splendidly portrayed by Ingvar Sigurðsson.”

“Hlynur Pálmason (Locarno prize-winner Winter Brothers) delivers a leisurely but never boring tale of hidden feelings percolating in a splendidly varied landscape.”

Screen international

“Pálmason engages in storytelling that’s both powerful and freshly thought-out.”

“The imposing, powerfully built Sigurdsson commandingly holds center screen throughout.”

The Hollywood Reporter

“A tale of spellbinding and perturbing beauty.”

“Cannes hasn’t even reached its midpoint yet, but (…) Pálmason’s second feature stands as the most disquieting and touching experience so far—and  (…) something tells me I shall return to Sigurdsson’s performance a long after my time here will come to a close.”

“New film only adds more evidence to the director’s talent.”
