I went to the premier of this film here in Iceland, as I was lucky enough to be a extra in the wedding scene. I thought it was really awful and I would have walked out of there if I wasn't waiting for my scene. The thing that I found the worst was the fact that it ends with the kid finding out. They must've been able to come up with a final scene better than that. Secondly, the film dragged on forever. I don't mind long films, but enough is enough. And they thinned it out with sub-plots and meaningless scenes which made me loose all story lines.
on the bright side, the actors were good, and the filming wasn't all bad either.
Icelandic reviews say it's great "compared to other Icelandic films". that's just wrong. why compare Iceland to Iceland. shouldn't they be comparing Iceland to other nations. or did they not find a good nation to compare to?
I'm not saying you shouldn't go and see this film, I'm just saying my opinion. There are other films you can watch that are far better.
and to top it off, they spelled my name wrong. if you watch the credits and see Erla Harðardóttir, think of me.
