    A truly pleasant surprise - a real gem of a movie
    I must confess that I am not a great fan of Icelandic cinema, and even though I had heard some talk about this movie when it came out, I never went to see it in the theatres. Well, I finally saw it. And it absolutely blew me away. It is a film that is created with pure passion and talent to fully back it up. It's a family portrait, a photo album, an obituary and suicide note of such immense depth and richness that you're swept along with every sigh and breath on the screen. But the mastery lies in the fine line it traverses between despair and hope. The film avoids being oppressive though it depicts oppression, and it celebrates humanity and companionship even when it revels in the emotions of isolation. It's a movie that embraces you, holds you tight, and may even make you a slightly better person before letting go.
