Spanning several decades and continents, TOUCH is a rich study of love and grief that’s both heart-breaking and achingly romantic. It follows a widower’s emotional journey to find his first love who disappeared 50 years ago, before his time runs out.
In 1960s London, Icelandic student Kristófer took a job in a Japanese restaurant and fell in love with the owner’s daughter, Miko. In 2020, Kristófer – now a widower living in Iceland – knows his memory is starting to fail. As lockdowns loom, Kristófer flies to London to find out why Miko left without a goodbye all those decades ago.
Baltasar Kormákur’s deeply moving film is based on the novel by Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
Touch is an uncommonly poignant drama that balances rich sentimentality with more harrowing themes. Only cynics will resist a swoon or three. – Irish Independent ★★★★★
This is a love story, pure and simple and unashamedly emotional. – The Guardian
Its sensibility is as exquisitely tender as the flutter of a butterfly wing. – RogerEbert.com
Touch is the kind of movie you get when a filmmaker thinks like that, on his feet and with his heart—and in so doing, he makes us believe we can, too. – Time Magazine
Touch is a worthy consideration of the things that matter most when the clock is running out. – Wall Street Journal
Touch rekindles a treacly genre that I didn’t realize I missed. Its tender performances and gut-punch reveals are classic tear-jerker ingredients. – New York Times
