9/10
Slow paced and heartfelt

As dramas go, this's well done. Yes, it has what you'd expect in these kinds of films: Long, quiet scenes often with characters staring at vast areas where they are, dialogue that probably didn't need to be said but was just to make it interesting, and the characters doing questionable things to further the plot.

The movie has those moments, but regardless, I enjoyed it.

I thought the relationship between the two main women was believable. They don't talk much to each other but you can tell they have a nice rapport, and in such a short amount of time. It's sad what they have to go through. Ones a struggling mom while the other's a refugee trying to get to Canada.

Their lives become intertwined and become enriched as a result.

I've always been fascinated with Iceland and the language itself, and seeing the landscape only interests me even more. Sure is cold, though.

I don't have much else to say other than it was well-paced. The story flow felt natural, the acting was pretty good from the cast, and the shots were nice to look at.

If you like foreign media, check this movie out then.
