    Kind

    The script is clever and kind. Thomas and Thomas give us a window into inuit culture in Greenland, which is lovely, but mainly this movie is about connection. It offers us lovely pause and reflection.

    Calm and beautiful

    Greenland's endless expanses of snow and ice fill the screen in this calm and beautiful movie. Told in sparse dialogue, the story is slow paced and gentle. Two young men from Paris, France, who are both named Thomas, visit the one's father who lives in a remote village in Greenland. They witness what his daily routine is like and spend time at gatherings with the community, laughing and chatting. At night they talk quietly about this and that since the constant daylight makes it difficult for them to go to sleep.

    The Thomases are both mild mannered and soft spoken, and there is very little conflict in this film. It mostly shows a slice of life in this remote village as experienced by the two visitors. The modulated tones and wide empty vistas make this a relaxing and meditative film to watch.

    Heart warming, beautiful movie

    This is a heart warming beautiful movie. Very Peaceful and funny at the same time.

    A very moving experience

    I have been recently in Greenland. The movie brought me recent memories and the respect for the Inuits. The impressive whiteness and the majestic immensity of the ice and the blue sky and the small community make me feel humble. The performances are natural and believable. The son and his friend are very French and simple but sophisticated. The father is fantastic and the magnificent beauty from Greenland is merely wonderful. Susana

    • Trivia
      In June 2013, two Inuit friends of the explorer Nicolas Dubreuil, Ole Eliassen and Adam Eskilden visited Paris. Actors Thomas Blanchard and Thomas Scimeca showed the visitors around town. This inspired director Sébastien Betbeder to create a short film Inupiluk. Two years later Ole and Adam invited the two Thomases to come to their home town in Greenland, which inspired Sébastien Betbeder to create the full-feature film Journey to Greenland.
