This film is one of a kind. The topic is heavy but it's made in such a unique way I couldn't breathe till the end not only because of the plot but also cause it's so unbelievably beautiful. I think everyone should watch it at least once in their life: first because it shines light on a real issue and second- it's breathtaking and it has one of the best paced storytelling in a film I've seen. Plus if you believe we need more colorists in modern cinema this film will be a nice surprise.

One of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen: the colors, the characters, the message, the drama—I can’t really describe this without spoiling the movie but imagine Old Boy meets Titane kind of film. Overall amazing, and the music and dances were topnotch too.

A friend took me to see this Danish/ Icelandic film at the IFC in March and it blew our minds. It’s been a long time since I’ve sat in a theater and realized with each passing scene that I was watching something truly original and great which will come to be known as a masterpiece (tbf this is mostly my fault because when I’m tired which is all the time I only want to watch bougie sub-Baumbach dramedies about marriage or having a gay kid or whatever). It’s about a priest in the 19th century traveling from Denmark to a remote Icelandic island to establish a church and the morally and physically degrading journey he has to endure to get there, unable to communicate with his guide Ragnar, but really it defies all narrative summary and just needs to be seen.

Holy Shit thats a FILM. I can’t explain how deeply I felt moved by it. It’s stunning. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Hey! It's not the easiest read since it's a classic but I guarantee it's not boring at all. I recommend this book to every dramaqueen that tends to obsess over the unfairness in life and never stops whining about it🥱
