IF you've ever visited Iceland, this movie will bring back memories while engaging you in a compelling story. Manages to get a few laughs, too.

This is one of those movies that is a bit raw in that it comes across as low budget but with a captivating plot that keeps your interest. As Benny confronts his loss and flaws he submits to more in hope of answers. And this is one point of bewilderment for me as a viewer in attempting to understand the ultimate outcome in my own mind. This has led me to internet research that has proved fruitless in clarifying what the movie achieved, and therefore rating it at first 5 starts, but then 6 when it certainly has kept me thinking about it and wondering if I missed something in trying to understand it. I will leave it there since a conclusion to what this movie was really about is, well, uncertain but entertaining.

All my friends into Viking magic and runes, will be entertained by this new movie on Amazon Prime. Its about the ugly American traveling in Iceland, learning about its history and religious superstitions. Its transforming and enlightening as you travail the journey with him through the books of ancient Eddas. The knowledge he gains is really about himself as many magical events unfold. Pax, enjoy, and tell me what you think? Murf

This might not be the best film for everyone, but it spoke to me, I felt as though I might have written it If I were in that line of business. It was raw and seemed to clearly show the product of people who understand mental illness and addiction. By far, the most impressive part was that it ends exactly as it should have. There was no disappointment, no wasted time watching. I simply don't have enough good things to say about this.

..as it will simply grab you with good pace, good actors, good humor and suspense. Dont read too much upfront, as you want the story to unravel.

Then read all reviews in full afterwards.

And, you might even be intrigued and want to know more about islandig magic and folklore, that's what I will do.

Certainly a special film; not perfect, but rarely anything like that around. Meant in a good way :)
