Lof mér að falla

I dont know how many stars i'd give to this film. I watched it a few months ago and I still remember some scenes, the light the pale filternof everything, the darkness ràting the little light left... To me this is like a nightmare and to think it is a true story it makes it worse. The film makes you feel all this despair and hopelessness, so it achieves the porpouse of cinema, which is to drive your emotions. For that I would give it a 10, but in a movie I need balance, some resting between the hard and painful sequences, and in this case i haven't been able even to take a breath at any shot. Then, 7 stars for all these reason would be fair.

World premiere at 43rd Toronto International Film Festival - TIFF18.

Icelandic writer-director Baldvin Zophoníasson clearly has a talent for bringing out great performances from his actors. The commitment from Elín Sif Halldórsdottir, Eyrún Björk Jakobsdóttir and Kristín Þóra Haraldsdóttir is strikingly profound.

As a recovering addict, I think this movie is a realistic portrayal of the slippery slope and desperation that comes with one's journey through addiction.

With such fantastic acting, this is easily the best movie I have seen in a long time. A clear 10/10 for me.

Ill have visual flashbacks about the movie weeks later, saw it on my way to Iceland. Haunting visuals, devastating story, excellent acting. See it!

Depending on who you get in contact with, who you let into your life (and your body, no pun intended), it will take your life into a certain trajectory. So your company is very important. Something you may have heard from your parents - something that parents in general like to say. And something kids do not always take fully into account.

This is a case of a coming of age girl and her downward spiral into a world, she should not be in contact with. The way it is portrayed here, is quite realistic. Not just the addiction part, but how it evolves. Because things do not happen from one moment to the next.

Really well played, maybe a bit too long for some, but very important and with a message everyone can get behind with. Not an easy watch, especially when violence comes into play (forced and brutal, though not too explicit - which I think is the right choice) ... it can mess with your head.
