No Easy Choices, Indeed
8 March 2023
This is yet another look at how relationships can turn upside down, how love can be hostaged by circumstances that we hardly can control because of who we are. I like the ending, which is open-ended. This just goes to show that there are no easy choices in a marriage because of a lot of considerations: one's children, work, parents and the couple's will to make their stand and/or compromise or even sacrifice.

The cast is talented enough. Theirs are thoughtful portrayals of what can happen inside a marriage. The actor playing Nina succeeds in portraying her angst and the dilemma she's facing as she weighs the ifs and buts of the momentous decision before her.

The casual commentary on why Icelanders are the happiest people in Europe is an eye opener but which fits into the ongoing narrative.

This is a quiet and a insightful film. It should be a welcome reminder of how it is to be alive and married.
