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 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 Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Hlynur Pálmason decides to portray the daily life of a separated family. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Max Borg Next Best Picture Said transformation is handled with gentle maturity, as Pálmason aims to capture the more mundane aspects of the separation rather than going melodramatically big as the genre is often inclined to do and lets their feelings come out naturally Rated: 8/10 May 31, 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 Read all reviews
