    This movie is a SCAM!!!!

    A guy here in the reviews that said the movie is funny and great is probably drunk, really.

    Its one of the most or THE MOST dumbest movie i have ever seen in my life, I swear!!!

    Its definately not a comedy movie, this movie is a HUGE SCAM, shouldnt be in the cinema at all!

    70% of the people that were watching it in the cinema with me just left in the middle, really. Such a cringe and boring movie... If i could rate it 0, I would do that.

    Wish i could get my money back :/

    A light-hearted and terrifying comedy

    Northern comfort was a comedy that much is true but I think for the most part of was a drama. Just with little sprinkles of comedic moments here and there. This movie follows a group of four people who are terrified of flying, so they take a course but when they get there a man named Charles is taking them instead and they end up all getting stuck in iceland, where they deal with love. Hate, finding themselves and losing their minds as each attempt to get home. I'm happy that spall was in this great actor and his character was the fun one out the bunch. I think overall this film was still good for what it is.

    A Missed Opportunity

    This film really missed the mark for me. It's rare to find anything with Tim Spall in that disappoints, but this did fall into that category. I had high hopes despite the fairly average rating, as I felt that this had good ingredients, but unfortunately, they were deployed badly.

    I am usually keen on anything involving aviation, mystery, or wonderful landscapes, but I wasn't engaged with this at all. None of the characters were believable as they were so riddled with contradictions and were never properly developed. The few moments of comedy were absurd rather than clever and, despite mostly decent acting performances, the script failed to properly explain or explore anything to give the viewer something to invest in.

    The pacing of the film felt all wrong for a comedy and equally wrong for a credible drama, so for me, it didn't really deliver on any level. A real shame given what could have been done with this,

    Bad copycat of Ostlund movies

    I was very excited about this movie, to finally be very disappointed. There seems to be no structure, random things happen all the time and the humour is cringe. Very mediocre acting, bad lines, and honestly, I feel like Ruben Ostlund could do a copyright claim on this. Vivaldi's four seasons with snow shots, a random drone pov shot in a hotel room, literally copied from Force Majeure. And stealing the idea of his future movie, about a flight going wrong? Ridiculous. Also some very unrealistic scenarios in it, which do not make sense. Barely any character development. Bad movie, not funny but lame. Not worth it.

    Different, Not Necessarily In A Good Way

    Northern Comfort is certainly different. It's a novel plot with an opportunity for it's characters to be endearing, but instead follows individual arcs where none of them are particularly likeable.

    A small group of people with a fear of flying undertake a course to overcome their phobia. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, they find themselves marooned in Iceland. Whilst the the plot does get going, for a relatively short film it doesn't fly by at all.

    It's quirky, but fails to capture enough attention to be able to recall the names of the characters. The comedy is weak, provided through the unconventional or deadpan. Some beautiful scenery is showcased, but you could watch an advert from the Icelandic tourism board for that.

    • Trivia
      This was filmed at Gatwick Airport in the south terminal while it was closed during the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the security staff were asked to be extras and I was one of them, although didn't make it into the film unfortunately.
    • Goofs
      As the group are boarding the plane, there is a shot of the exterior of the plane. It clearly has its engine covers on and is not prepared for flight.

      Edward: You use statistics much like a drunk uses a lamp post.

      Charles: Excuse me?

      Edward: For support, rather than illumination.
