Woman at War
From the opening scene—in which 50-ish Halla (Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir), choirmaster and stalwart of the community, uses a bow and arrow to destroy an electrical tower—you know you are in for a treat. Benedikt Erlingsson’s tale of an eco-warrior on the verge of adopting a child is a quirky, visually splendid delight. "Is there anything rarer than an intelligent feel-good film that knows how to tackle urgent global issues with humour as well as a satisfying sense of justice? Look no further…"—Variety
