Para el espectador que disfruta de estas latitudes, una agradable mirada a sus rincones rurales. Las vacas, la leche, la honesta y dura vida campesina y el funcionamiento de la cooperativa, que parece tener buenas intenciones por el pueblo y su independencia de las grandes cadenas, pero que a la vez abusa de su poder sobre los granjeros. Hasta que una mujer rebelde local se enfrenta a ella. Interesante. Pero cuando más tarde tienes esa sensación de «vaya, ahora pasa algo», no pasa nada y empiezan los créditos finales. «¿Y eso es todo?» (23.01.2020)

Grímur Hákonarson knows what he's doing, so you can count on a very solid Icelandic drama here. How else. The beautiful Icelandic exteriors and the rugged Icelandic nature are definitely a plus. Even more so, if you love Iceland and have experienced it firsthand. What surprises me a bit in the plot is the cooperative society. I find it hard to believe that something like that could happen in Iceland at all. In the rest of the world - no problem, but Iceland? There's no way you can sweep any fraud under the geyser...it'll surface in a few minutes and you won't even have time to enjoy the mischief. (01.01.2021)

"Time for me to live my life, be happy and be free. Now's the time to leave this place, I've got the world to see." - The words of the upbeat final song suggest much about the feelings and future direction of the protagonist Inga, who, after the death of her husband, defies the harsh rules of the community in which she lives. And they do so regardless of whether there is a real chance of making a difference. (75%) (30.07.2022)
