Dull to the Point of Tedium - Grimsey review by KW
A wasted rental. nice scenery to look at, but a sort of road trip movie to find the partner who has jilted you!
Enlist a travel companion for company with minimal dialogue so glad it was a short movie almost verging on a travel documentary. Wasted rental for me.

Two blokes don Icelandic sweaters - Grimsey review by AW
GRIMSEY (2018)
Written and directed by Ricardo Garcia
who plays the character Bruno.
Bruno searches the whole huge island of Iceland hopeful of finding missing boyfriend Norberto who has irritatingly left a trail the length and breadth of the country and fails to communicate with Bruno to tell him their relationship is off. It's only quite late on you find there may be a a rather feeble reason for it all, but by then I'd lost much of my patience.
Basically it's a road trip with lots of lovely & unusual Icelandic vistas, Reykjavik to Akureyri, to the island of Grimsey, 40 km off the northern coast. Great as a travelogue but boring as a story which really goes nowhere by the end. Sparse and limited dialogue.
Garcia is laconic and curiously expressionless and seems a bit irritated with Spanish tour guide Arnau who only seems to want to help. They even meet up with another gay Spanish couple but their apparent happiness just seems to grate on Bruno - I think - but by then I was nearly turning it off...another CP rental I was keen to send back.
Luckily it was only 70 mins, and ends strangely with upbeat Spanish music.
