Normally can't watch any movie where the central characters are children. This movie is the exception. The script, the acting and direction made this story compelling to watch even if it was a little uncomfortable. The bullying and teasing among the children and the dysfunctional behavior among the adult characters provided a grim portrait of life in Iceland. The stand out was Thor. Never once did I think he was acting. It was all starkly real. Worth watching to see the elevated caliber of children acting.
