3 out of 10 Liked it - quirky
Linda from Dublin, 16 Jan 2008
I liked this film, a little quirky & oddly funny in parts. Nice insight into icelandic life during the winter, were it's dark most of the time - or at least thats what i like to think it was. It feels as tho' not a lot is going on as the pace is relaxed but in fact quite a few odd things happen but they are nicely downplayed - no big drams here. I'd recommend it, certainly worth a watch

I wasn't sure about this one - but after watching it twice as I seem to fall asleep the 1st time I relised why - I've just never been to Iceland so I didn't really understand what was happening. Even thoguh it obvious I think its lacking something .....

A somewhat disturbing and bleak tale of a stoner youth and his complex dysfuntional family life .Very dark comedy .Good insight into a certain section of Icelandic social life,great characters ,really unusual film-highy recommended.

Great little movie featuring Victoria Abril, of Almodovar fame. Pretty twisted view on relationships set against the backdrop of never ending Icelandic winters. Not for the faint at heart or romcom-addicts. Highly recommended.

Una from Kildare, 27 May 2011
HAVING LIVED IN DENMARK SOME YEARS AGO THIS I THOUGHT WAS FUNNY AND VERY TYPICAL OF SCANDANVIAN BEHAVIOUR IT WAS AMUSING AND YET AN ACCURATE EXPOSE OF REACTIONS TO A CERTAIN TYPE OF CARRY ON !!!
