    Two womens spirit, perseverance, and triumph intersect in deeply moving film

    This slow, but correctly paced, film is one that every person should see. It's not the type of film for everyone though. This is one of those films that is straight forward basically one main plot and comes directly at you pushing its message as the main theme and leaves it for you to decide in the end. The message is clear.....life is hard and when you least expect it, there's good out there. This film shows the struggle of two different women and how they are working to make a better life for their families. One a native Icelandic, one an asylum seeking refugee, two totally different women, on seperate yet basically the same path that intersects and shows us that kindness and perseverance can prevail. The mood is somber, the scenery cold bleak, the pace slow. This film works though do to the controversial subject being explored and the way the actors, direction, production and script put it together. Won't be for everyone but worth the watch.

    I loved it.

    This film kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Great performances by the two leading actresses. Politics aside, the story is original and somewhat heart breaking. Unusual, circumstantial bond of two mothers from the different parts of the world. If you have strong opinions about illegal immigration and love to debate about it, skip this movie, for all you 'll see is what you would want to see, completely missing the tragic, but beautiful story.

    a story about the human spirit and human triumph.

    From the first frame of a film you know that the maker has a grasp over the medium and has made a relationship with it. This is the same with this film. The shots and scenes are never loose or slow and yet the film takes its own time and pulls you into living it at its own pace. The story of a woman from a first world country who is dealing with her own problems and is some kind of an immigrant in her own country, who helps out an immigrant from another country. But what's beautiful about this, as with all great tales is that it destroys all kinds of borders and leaves you with a beautiful human story about how the human spirit triumphs over everything in its way and can be so all encompassing, compassionate, inclusive and brave.

    On a suspension rope

    As if on a tight suspension rope, this understated film reminds us that the smallest of margin of errors can often result to your destiny changing cataclysmically. The carefully interwoven story of two quietly powerful women, both having faced demons in their past and trying to start over but are facing significant challenges on their own journeys both metaphorically and literally, will get you thinking about moments when they have gone your way on the basis of trivial circumstances or gone against you in the blink of an eye on the slightest random detail.

    Tight

    Very riveting viewing - have to hold your breath a few times. Brilliantly shot, every frame.
