Under the Tree - Reviews

He skilfully constructs his film as part-thriller, part-intelligent relationship drama, topped with a juicy dollop of savage black comedy.

The superb cast, particularly the steely-eyed resolve of Edda Björgvinsdóttir’s Inga, do marvels in maintaining the tricky tone.

It’s a funny, silly yarn that weaves together the comic and the tragic without ever really tipping things over the edge. And it’s interesting to see an Icelandic film which is entirely urban and domestic in its settings...

Det er filmens nære iagttagelse af dagligdagen og vor tids menneskeskildringer, som gør filmen nærværende.

...underhållande betraktelse av människodjuret och dess inneboende våldsamhet.

...tydligen finns det fortfarande ett intresse för det banala – filmen tjänade 67.7 miljoner ISK.

Under træet' er til tider ganske morsom.

...en märklig och fängslande film...
