Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The whole island seems to be in transition - huge developments threaten to deface the natural grandeur of the place - and this documentary may yet come to represent a vital memorial.
Fresh: The elegantly composed shots of the island's broodingly lonesome wide spaces offer clues as to the group's widescreen post-rock sound. Indeed, their music comes to seem site-specific, as environmentally immersed as the landscape art of Richard Long.
Fresh: Sigur Ros' creativity and open attitude was at one with Iceland's ravishingly beautiful landscape.
Fresh: When the band and the film move in sweet simpatico they produce a few precious moments of transcendent grandeur.
Customer Reviews
Breathtakingly Beautiful
This is the perfect (music) documentary. From "Glosoli" to "Olsen Olsen" to the stunning, "Vonn," this film sold me on Sigur Ros. I discovered it totally by accident on IFC about 3 years ago. I've been a fan ever since and there's no going back now.
Someone wrote on YT, "When I die, I don't want to go to heaven. I want to go to Iceland.".
Truer words have never been spoken.
Unique. Dreamlike. Great.
A unique, dreamlike, eclectic musical journey with the band SIgur Ros throughout Iceland. LIke nothing else. Love it.
Amazing
This is probably the best music documentary I have ever seen. Its extremely peaceful and low key but Sigur Ros's music and the visuals of iceland bring you to a place that looks untouched by the troubles of man.
