Audience Member A watchable oddball comedy with a wonderfully subdued lead performance by Stefán Karl Stefánsson. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Can be streamed from Amazon Prime Video Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member We have in Iceland a habit to say about a misfortune "If it happens, it happens for a reason, or no reason at all. You just have to learn how to fly". Ok, I just made that up. Polite people tells a story of a hopeless engineer who uses his charisma and lying skills to rebuild a slaughterhouse in a small town in West Iceland. It can not be good, or what!! It is so normal that I loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
