Without getting soppy Ísold Uggadóttir holds up the magic mirror that reflects what we would like to be. Likewise, without being pretentious, she hints at what we ought to be.
One may argue that."And Breathe Normally" (international title) is primarily concerned with specific topics such as; gender or the plight of refugees - It is not. Uggadóttir is weaving the, much lost, fabric of humanity - and she is doing so with threads of empathy.
With much of the world on an, "un-compassionate", hyperventilating rampage driven by fear - we are told. Told that we are panicking and acting, not only inhumanly but also; irrationally and in cotradiction with what we perceive ourselves to be... and told to start breathing normally.
Packaging is exquisite and delivery is subtle. Uggadóttir manages to avoid the trap she is trying to describe - the one of overreacting. Added to that "And Breath Normally" has flawless casting - it's just one breath away from being a masterpiece.
