Memorable, crazy movie
It is a performances centric movie
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Every single scene, from the first second on, is sheer perfection. I wanna be Halla when I grow up!
This movie could have been very preachy. It deals with a middle-aged woman who is very concerned about the effects of industry on the Icelandic environment and decides to take a very active role in opposing it, sabotaging efforts to create a new aluminum processing plant. All very PC.But it is the form that makes this movie truly exceptional, not to mention fun and fascinating to watch. It is full of imaginative touches that seem to come out of nowhere and that capture your attention and admiration.The acting is fine, and some of the countryside shots are wonderful, but it's not a scenic tour of Iceland. Rather, it's a remarkably create take on what could have been a very dull topic.
