If you see only one quirky coming-of-age movie set on a remote Icelandic fiord this year, make it Noi.

Proceeds at a, no pun intended, glacial pace ... but the film is possessed of something more important: a bone-weary honesty at the travails of being young, different, and stuck somewhere you don't want to be.

Who can resist a movie set in a town where the natural history museum, filled with stuffed polar bears and such, is 'the wildest place in town'?

Begins as a standard quirky, indie coming-of-age film, but slowly -- like melting ice -- turns into something more profound and genuinely touching.
