A White, White Day

"Palmason engages in storytelling that’s both powerful and freshly thought out, marking him as a talent to watch." 

"An eerily gripping study of grief — and impotence in its face — with the trappings of a revenge thriller." 

"[It] reveals director Hlynur Palmason to be a major talent (...) The underlying psychology might seem familiar, but it is parceled out in surprising ways" 

"It sometimes feels like Palmason is being a bit self-indulgent with his slow pace, but Ingvar Sigurdsson keeps the film grounded, and ends it with such a devastating, powerful final shot that it alone erases most criticisms (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"[Palmason] delivers a leisurely but never boring tale of hidden feelings percolating in a splendidly varied landscape. (...) A perfectly controlled sense of place permeates every frame. 

"'A White, White Day' takes the tropes of a psychological thriller but presents them with a virtuosic and austere visual flare" 

"A psychological drama-thriller involving startling aesthetic choices (...) Ingvar Sigurðsson gives an excellent performance (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
