Metacritic reviews

Once a sense of rhythm is grasped, things fall into place, and audiences will exit the cinema debating their favorite scenes, recalling a wealth of graceful, humane interactions.

The cumulative effect is like strolling through a Reykjavik gallery where each painting moves within its well-chosen frame.

This is an exciting new direction for Runarsson, who proves that making a film about Iceland today doesn’t necessarily require a three-act narrative structure and characters with carefully calibrated needs and desires and neatly constructed backstories.

The collection of quirks, emotional connections, whimsy and humanity makes for poignant viewing.
