Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 2 days ago A masterpiece! In my opinion, Woman At War is just that, a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of storytelling. I make no comment, attempt no assessment, of the movie in terms of cinematography, blocking, lensing, or anything technical. It is simply the gold standard in terms of story and acting. My favourite moment is when Halla, wounded in her efforts to save the land of Iceland from corporate exploitation, is healed by the land itself. It is a moment redolent of superheroes and the supernatural, and yet what happens is entirely natural, which only serves to make it more magical. The movie is admirably quirky and has a fine sense of humour, so the crusader aspect never becomes tedious, didactic, or self-admiring. In fact it is the very selflessness of the characters, especially the twin sisters, which serves to make the movie so devastatingly moving. Recommended with all enthusiasm. This is the best Icelandic movie since 101 Reykjavik. See more Steve O @olshewsky Aug 20, 2026 Tragically NO English Audio - Soundtrack deserves an Oscar! See more Joe P @RT50794407 Nov 25, 2025 Hollywood wishes they could make a movie like this in this day and age. This is a perfect movie. It’s so inventive and current and the fact that they use the soundtrack musicians as actual characters in the film is such a novel idea, and makes the movie so much more interesting than any other film that I’ve ever seen. This film is relevant in so many ways- it’s contemporary you think it was made in 2025 with drone surveillance and Ukraine and environmental issues and fighting for a cause and there’s just there’s nothing wrong with this film. It’s a perfect film. I can’t believe that it hasn’t gotten more attention. Highly recommend.

Original, dazzling, smart, important, compelling. Comes complete with its own Greek chorus. See more David J @RT26594000 Oct 16, 2022 Wonderful whimsical window into our collective guilt. See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 I really enjoyed this film - the quirkiness and perhaps even surrealism, or absurdism, of traditional folk singers and bands appearing in weird environments made me laugh. The underlying story was quite interesting - certainly thought provoking and I liked the central character, what she was trying to do and how she defended herself to others with clearly differing ideas/opinions. I would definitely recommend this film to others, especially if your interested in environmentalism. See more Read all reviews
