A group of merchants and Vikings navigate dramatic events both within and without in this epic musical based on the Icelandic Vinland Sagas. As secrets are exposed, two women have a reckoning.

Josh Bell

Crooked Marquee

Leiser provides just enough cinematic splendor to make the clumsy execution more glaring.

Rated: C+

North Shore Movies

A common complaint among moviegoers is that there’s nothing original out there: it’s all sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots. Well, “Freydis and Gudrid” is certainly different.

Rated: 2.5/5

Alan Ng

Film Threat

It feels like a reading of ancient tales, with the emotion of the opera replacing the melodrama and acting found in traditional period pieces.

Rated: 6.5/10

High on Films

None of the film’s themes of loss, tragedy, and grief ever seem to come to the surface, and just when you think Lesiser would dive into what the aftermath of masculine decadence has on the women who suffer like bystanders, the film ends.

Thom Ernst

Original Cin

Embrace the operatic aspect of the film or resign to it, Leiser’s tale gets through. The story—that of a group of Viking merchants and explorers who set out to avenge the death of one of their own—is intact, along with the elements of romance and drama.

Rated: B
