Stephen Romei The Australian Is there something worse than loving someone and losing them for five decades? Yes, there is. This film about two people who leave an irreversible touch on each other brought tears to my eyes. Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Financial Times An old-school weepie smothered in a syrupy string score, Touch is an unexpected offering from Icelandic action director Kormákur, who has made his name pitting humans against nature: the Himalayas in Everest, the sea in Adrift, a rogue lion in Beast. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Catherine Bray Guardian This is a love story, pure and simple and unashamedly emotional. Kormákur also understands the visual appeal of romance: it’s not just about the pillow talk or heady declarations of passion, it’s about the images, and he doesn’t stint us in that regard. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur (Adrift, Beast) has crafted a bittersweet love story that journeys beyond the expected...The film captures both the politically charged late 60s/early 70s as well as our recent pandemic with great attention to detail. Rated: A- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review John McDonald Australian Financial Review We become caught up in Kristófer’s efforts to find the woman who has remained lodged in his heart for the past 50 years while his adult life has played itself out. Oct 8, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider Touch is an absorbing, touching and simply lovely drama. And one of the year’s best? Yeah, maybe. Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Storyline was heart touching! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review REBECCA B Favorite movie of the year to date. Touch will absolutely win this year’s Oscar for best Foreign Film! Be prepared for occasional subtitles in a movie where characters speak Icelandic, Japanese, and English. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Dennis B Excellent film, well edited and well written. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Chindi I liked it. The acting was very good.
