"Síðasti bærinn" or "The Last Farm" is an Icelandic 17-minute movie from over 10 years ago that got writer and director Rúnar Rúnarsson some popularity as he was nominated for an Oscar here. I personally was not impressed by this film. The emotional moments felt only included for the sake of it and I personally did not feel as if they had an authentic touch to it. The story felt too little in terms of quality and quantity, even for a movie under 20 minutes. I am a bit baffled by the awards attention this got and also by its IMDb rating. The acting wasn't too memorable either. It may be good for a country like Iceland to reach such a success and also for the filmmaker as it guaranteed him possibly a career in the industry, but I hope he can step things up in the future. This short movie is not worth watching. Thumbs down.
