Guy Lodge Variety Spiraling into surrealism as ordered lives and minds unravel, Pálmason’s fourth feature is an album of achingly felt, morbidly funny and increasingly haywire scenes from a marriage. May 27, 2025 Full Review Mark Asch Little White Lies The Love That Remains becomes increasingly surreal as it goes, with Hlynur’s cast acting out slapstick sight gags and dream sequences inspired by B-movies and Bergman. May 19, 2025 Full Review David Katz IndieWire [Hlynur Pálmason] braids various fragments to relate a time-honored story of love lost, yet the immaculacy of the construction doesn’t help us feel it as viscerally as he’d like. Here, still waters run a bit shallow. Rated: B- May 19, 2025 Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net This instantly joins the ranks with Marriage Story as one of THE best break-up films EVER made. For real. Every single shot is brilliant. The score, the lightness of it all, the humor, the honesty, the kids, the dog, everything about it is pure bliss. Rated: 9/10 May 25, 2025 Full Review Iana Murray The Playlist There’s a noble search for meaning in the grass, sea and mountains, but it couldn’t hurt to have characters vocalize their feelings even just once. There is a story here, though Pálmason only really alludes to it. Rated: B May 19, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com In another context and with other precursors, we could unashamedly affirm that this is an intriguing, valuable family drama in an adverse setting, but as a follow-up to Godland, it's clearly a step backward.
