Angie Han FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's a small but mighty movie, and one that I found satisfying. May 1, 2021 Full Review Roxana Hadadi RogerEbert.com The County is at its best when it centers Egilsdóttir's nuanced performance. Rated: 3/4 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Ann Hornaday Washington Post Even with some strangely perfunctory plot pivots and an abruptly unsatisfying ending, "The County" benefits from Egilsdottir's central performance, which is both delicate and imposingly stalwart. Rated: 2/4 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Elle Haywood Vague Visages Providing a remote view of a small town, the film hones in on the mundane community tasks of milking animals and tidying up hay barns, which is what makes The County feel so much more relatable... May 15, 2023 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online Hákonarson wants to streamline all these complicated ideas into a feel-good story. In the process, though, he winds up doing his characters and his audience a grave disservice. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry Arndís Hrönn Egílsdottir gives the protagonist a complex personality of a reluctant warrior, with its tragedies rooted in the rot of capitalism and the external forces of power.

Mateusz C A moving story in the type of "All alone against everything", ist satysfying and melancholic Also why is this interpreted as comedy? i have no idea, there wasnt a much of humour really, it was rather cold show Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Not sure how this tragedy could be called a comedy! A very sad story about a widowed farmer who tries to rally her neighboring dairy farmers to oppose and compete with "The Cooperative" which rules their lives through intimidation and coercion. The ambiguous ending is consistent with the tone of the rest of the film...this is not a pat happy ending, but you know that Inga is going to take charge of her own life and ultimately triumph, although not in the way she wanted. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This thing is un-watchable, full of old and ugly actors mugging their way through a silly plot about the little people defeating the powers that be. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
