Summary: A Great Nordic delivery!
Review: What do you get in a coming-of-age movie when the leading character is 30 years old?
Lets just say you get an excellent movie, where the comedy is driven by the way of life of a slacker in the small and cold town of reykjavik, iceland's biggest city. The drama and motif in the characters rise when Hilmir finds out he's just gone to bed with his mom's partner.
It's a great funny story of similar to films brought by Spanish director Almodovar, without the dramatic gloom and heavy atmosphere.

And to top it off it features and excellent music soundtrack, by Damon Albarn of Blur, which is also a great buy.
All in all, this film is definetively a must see.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great little-known Icelandic film
Review: While planning my trip to Iceland this April, I stumbled across a mention of this film and decided to check it out, mostly for the scenery of Reykjavik. However, this ended up being a thoroughly entertaining film. The story line, while somewhat unconventional, made for great comedic highs infused with all the emotion of the complicated relationship between the main characters. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of foreign or independent films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome movie
Review: Wow, I'm lacking of words. This movie is just the best I've seen for a long time. It's a hillarious movie made in a small village on Iceland. While I was watching the movie I think I got the feeling of living in Iceland. It's sort of depressing. Nevertheless because I was feeling it I could really associate with the people there. Everybody should watch this film. All the Islandic actors and acresses and especially Victoria Abril as Lola, the hot, Spanish flamenco dancer make this one of the best movies of the season. I really enjoyed it.
