A lot of people seem to miss the point of this film. Yes, it's not perfect. The acting is patchy, the themes could have been explored more fully. The cinematography didn't blow me away, although it had its moments. But it is such a charming evocation of Iceland, the sound track is beautiful and the story is inspiring. Definitely a must watch. Just suspend your inner critic and accept that this film is a fairy tale, asking you what your 'California' is, what you are willing to do to get there. Most people don't go, which is why most people will not be inspired by this film. I hope you are different.
