Ok, this is not the film from which you expect win the oscar, but who the hell cares? This is a beautiful film that allows one to enjoy gorgeous scenery of Iceland.
The way the movie is directed or the acting you cannot fault because of it's own limitations. But as the movie moves ahead you realise that this one is more of a mix of a strong sense of nostalgia and a fairy tale. The world they grew old into became a place which did not make much sense to these elderly people. Therefore, they are in a spiritual struggle in which they seek an escape from the urban lifestyle and a return to their natural ones; their villages and the intact countryside of Iceland, where people still stick to the rituals of the past, most things are hand-made but exquisite and there is no shortage of breathtaking colours, mists and the things leave you stunned.
I admit nostalgia is not the most authentic topic; I mean it follows a pretty straightforward and familiar topic where elderly people feel locked in care homes and they must pay a final visit to their origin of life before resting in peace. Meanwhile, the nostalgia has been impressive with the combination of naturalism. I really enjoyed the time that I have invested for this movie.
