offbeat, poignant and visually exquisite; Benedikt Erlingsson's second feature-length fiction, Woman at War, is another skillfully crafted, surreally told tale of man and nature but one with more emotional depth and sharper political undertones
a wry, idiosyncratic comedy that communicates important topical messages while never being less than a joy to watch; Filmmaker Erlingsson has an eye for detail, a flair for the absurd and a deft touch with social commentary and political satire
a very good performance from Halldora Geirharosdottir as Halla, a fortysomething choir conductor. Benedikt Erlingsson shows a great flair for ideas, scenes, tableaux
