    an American in Iceland

    Maybe , it is just a good film. For me, it is only one with too manyopened doors and windows. Sure, ambiguity can be a good thing . But in this case, the end gives something not being exactly dissapointment but a sort of bad news. You hope have the fair final, the reasonable answer to an American in Iceland , to the ball of mythology, mourning, travel, dark humor. But... Sure, it is a decent , provocative in some measure, film. But...

    Intriguing Movie

    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.

    Finally a good film

    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.

    Had potential but not that great.

    The good thing about this movie is that it had y attention for almost the entire movie. The unfolding of the story is intriguing, and makes you want to know what's going to happen, but the ending wasn't very satisfying, at least not to me. Too open and unexplained for me. The acting was certainly not bad, and that from the whole cast. Nice landscapes shots also, too bad the story is not really delivering in the end. I guess it's worth a watch, but it's not a keeper.

    Its decent

    This movie is pretty decent. Its entertaining and oddly humorous at some parts. Its definitely not predictable but I felt like the last 30 mins of the movie was clunky and jumbled. Overall its worth the watch but I was disappointed with the ending.
