                Absolutely pointless!

                Everyday routine life of a bunch of random people living in different units of the same building! Absolutely pointless!

                This great skill of animation arts could have potentially resulted in a brilliant film but lack of storyline makes it a mediocre banal one!

                every day

                A wise use of so familiar cliches. Couples, a mother and his son/ his student, work, school, house work , boring moments and refuges , loneliness and ...yes with many nuances. Ironic and touching, precise in each detail and beautiful for the fair way to discover details from ordinary lives in the honest light.

                Simple Story with Incredible Animation

                For all practical purposes, this is a slice of life story in an apartment building. People go about their business, but the animation, the great human creations, make it quite remarkable. They are just doing their things from shoveling snow, working at the office, fending off boredom, overeating, drinking secretly, doing homework, practicing an instrument, on and on. And another day is on its way and, being human, the dance begins again.

                That's a no from me, chief

                Being an animator myself, I will always have a soft spot to animations of all kinds. Because I know how tedious and precise the work needs to be for the final product to look any good. And this is a well animated movie.

                But man, did it make 8 minutes feel like forever. I don't think the narrative or what was being conveyed was in anyway bad, but it was more like I got the idea a couple minutes in and the rest felt like a drag. The movie is about awkwardness in everyday life, but I don't think there is anything new to be seen here.

                Not for me.

                Brilliant

                Everything about this film is wonderful. You do not need subtitles not any kind. I loved the animation and narrative style. It tells a fascinating story about life in Iceland.
