Quotes

“Alongside its study of a singular kind of heartbreak, Runarsson’s film offers images that anyone who can relate to losing a loved one at a young age will find impossible to shake.” Hollywood Reporter
“The plot is there to deliver the viewer into the frame, a simple tool for Rúnarsson and Olsson to play with in the endless dazzling mirror hours of a Northern summer.” Screen International
“All involved are doing good, meaningful work with a simple script and a story that explains little.” IndieWire
“Rúnarsson’s film eschews easy melodrama for a more tacit, sensory exploration of the sudden connections that death forges among the living.” Variety
