Look, the critics liked this one—82% on Rotten Tomatoes is solid. But audiences? They gave it 54%. That massive gap tells you everything you need to know: this is a slow, talky indie film that film festival types appreciated but regular viewers found boring.
The premise is sweet enough—two 70-year-old former brothers-in-law take a trip to Iceland to shake things up. Great! Except the execution involves 'amorous encounters' (which means sexual content) and a pace that makes paint-drying look action-packed. The 6.0 IMDb and 5.6 TMDB ratings confirm this isn't exactly must-see cinema.
For families? Hard pass. It's rated for 16+ and contains adult content. For adults who love slow-burn character studies set against pretty landscapes? Maybe. For literally anyone else? You'll check your phone approximately 47 times during the 96-minute runtime.
The truth is, in 2025, a 2014 indie film that audiences already found underwhelming is just not going to land. This isn't a hidden gem—it's a niche film that even its target audience found only moderately engaging.
