Inspire, Expire

This film kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Great performances by the two leading actresses. Politics aside, the story is original and somewhat heart breaking. Unusual, circumstantial bond of two mothers from the different parts of the world. If you have strong opinions about illegal immigration and love to debate about it, skip this movie, for all you 'll see is what you would want to see, completely missing the tragic, but beautiful story.

Very riveting viewing - have to hold your breath a few times. Brilliantly shot, every frame.

From the first frame of a film you know that the maker has a grasp over the medium and has made a relationship with it. This is the same with this film. The shots and scenes are never loose or slow and yet the film takes its own time and pulls you into living it at its own pace. The story of a woman from a first world country who is dealing with her own problems and is some kind of an immigrant in her own country, who helps out an immigrant from another country. But what's beautiful about this, as with all great tales is that it destroys all kinds of borders and leaves you with a beautiful human story about how the human spirit triumphs over everything in its way and can be so all encompassing, compassionate, inclusive and brave.

An excellent film with superb cast and acting. A very human and touching story with little in the way of embellishment. Most impressed with the films that Iceland is now producing.

I'd watch it again.

Is it PC? Yes. Am I PC? Hell no!! Stick with it to the end. Humans being decent to other humans; there're no politics associated with being decent. This is just humans being good to one another.
