An effective, thought-provoking, and charming exploration of life as a young person in the 2020s, this film excels with its well-crafted story that prefers to show rather than tell. It balances surprisingly funny jokes and a plausible romantic storyline with natural leading performances, all beautifully captured through lovely minimalist cinematography. The dynamic between the characters is engaging, although I wished for more scenes with the girlfriend to fully explore her perspective. Overall, it's a highly recommended watch that captures the essence of youthful experiences in a sophisticated, yet relatable way.

A superb indie comedy. Dialogue driven yet beautifully photographed, capturing Reykjavik in ways I hadn't seen before. The main actress gives one of my favorite performances of the year. The humor is fresh and daring in ways we don't see a lot of in movies anymore. The story unfolds in a heartbreakingly poignant manner, never beating you over the head or telling you what to think. I want the end song on my playlist. Made me want to write an essay about it. My partner and I talked about it for a long time afterwards (she loved it even more than I did). Can't recommend it enough, would probably be a great double-billing with Anora.
