The whole vibe of this movie is perfect. One of my favorite depictions of the end of days on earth. Doesn't focus on catastrophe, but on quiet and peace. If this film took place anywhere else we might see more panic, joy, or chaos, but here in Iceland, the end of the world comes in a long, peaceful wave of emotional rhythms as different characters weave in and out of the film. It is beautiful and withheld in the best ways. It is probably the best corner of the world to be in when everything ends, and the filmmaking takes on the character of the environment, using the poetry of the landscape to tell the story.
What I especially love is that the script emphasizes the human connection above all else. If there's anything that can last in the end, that's it.
See it.
