Kenji Fujishima Slant Magazine Hlynur Pálmason, who has a background in visual art, explores the film’s family dynamics through a vignette-like structure that sometimes feels akin to walking through an art exhibition. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 30, 2025 Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Both leads are excellent, conveying the weary sadness of separation, underscored by enduring affections, and the naturalness of the three children adds immeasurably to the drama’s intimacy. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review 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 Jackson Weaver CBC News [The Love That Remains] is about how your bravery or cowardice in the face of intimacy will define you through everything; about how being there for people means more than just being there. And, somehow, about bow-and-arrow safety. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy Unfolds as a slow-burning lyrical and imaginative portrayal, guided by implicit storytelling in which images gradually supplant dialogue, reframing a family drama about divorce into something more eccentric. Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Hlynur Pálmason decides to portray the daily life of a separated family.
