  • How many shades of grey in Iceland? So few words, so many images – total cinema. A journey through existence, veering between the profound and the mundane.
  • Superb – real Film Club film – without the dog though…? Still great!!
• ‘Very Good’: 13 votes
  • For a long time, I wasn’t sure where the film was heading (except, ultimately, Eyrarbakki), but the dénouement was worth the wait. Excellent soundtrack.
  • Brilliant score. I also loved the juxtaposition of the white Ford Cortina. Good laugh.
  • I loved the attention to detail. A great sense of period. Lots of references to “Blow Up” – a
    sort of antithesis. You always hurt the one you love.
  • I went from not really enjoying it to loving it from about 30% of the way through. Bonkers,
    lovely & with a dog & great story!
  • Thoughtful & wry film – will stick with me.
  • A very different road movie! Very Icelandic. Great dog.
  • Dog should’ve got an Oscar.
  • Deliciously quirky and quietly affecting. Very much a film club film!
  • Very original with some memorable scenes & quite moving.
  • The power of knitting
  • [Very good] – not sure why!

  • Living in that bleak landscape would make anyone a bit crazy. Enjoyed the film as it was so different. Very interesting
  • Easy Rider it aint – but a road movie!
