In a remote Icelandic town, an off-duty police chief begins to suspect a local man of having had an affair with his late wife, who died in a tragic accident two years earlier. Gradually his obsession for finding out the truth accumulates and inevitably begins to endanger himself and his loved ones. A story of grief, revenge and unconditional love.
An edge-of-seat psychological drama-thriller. – The Guardian ★★★★
The accumulating melange of social unease and psychological torment is transfixing…quietly startling visual coups. – Irish Times ★★★
An eerily gripping study of grief — and impotence in its face — with the trappings of a revenge thriller. – New York Times Critic’s Pick
Delivers a superb psychological puzzle worth piecing together. – Los Angeles Times
