I enjoyed it .Definitely one of the better films i have seen recently (much better than " Anatomy Of A Fall " ).Quite a short, straightforward film ,which was fine & a nice little story with some amusing touches .Within the first 10 minutes i knew i was going to enjoy the rest of it .
Intellectual films are cheap to make. I'm afraid this one is above my station, I am not a psychiatrist. Again it is showing how boring Iceland must be and yet I know it is not. It is not the country, it is the people who are limited in this film. It is supposed to be a love story but as everybody is hiding their feelings, it is difficult to see where love stands, appears or oozes. In fact the chaaraters themselves are wondering where love is and throughout the film.
A slow film that seems to paint a dismal picture of Helsinki and the dead-end jobs people have to do to survive.
The loneliness of the two main characters is explored, and, although neither lead is portrayed in a sympathetic light the viewer ends up caring. The wink at the end is worth waiting for. Probably not a film for those who like action movies!
