The film is predominantly a showcase for Guren, leaving nothing on the table as she carries Maria from white-hot toxic rage to desolate self-scrutiny to cathartic weeping in a foetal position.

Superbly acted and sharply written, this impressive feature debut from Lilja Ingolfsdottir casts a perceptive, empathetic eye over the messy business of breaking up.

Writer-director Ingolfsdottir reveals a keen insight into human behavior throughout the film, which is littered with memorable moments.

A dry and unwavering drama about the almost endless difficulties of life as a couple. [Full review in Spanish]
