Godland

A relaxing film that really draws you in with all of it's space and long drawn out shots. Amazing cinematography with beautiful landscapes, shot with a lovely film aesthetic. Hard to to believe this was made in 2022 and not the 80s. I really enjoyed this.

The one star is simply for the cinematography. However, if you want to watch sweeping long drawn out shots of Iceland, perhaps choose a David Attenborough with the mute on. The storyline is badly pieced together, and the character profiles are illogical and not explained. Could easily have been half the time and still shown the same.

Unbelievable, atmospheric colors. Slow burn with multiple explosions in the end. Everything in its right place.

If you like overly long, lingering shots of desolate Icelandic countryside then this is the film for you. It's bleak, joyless and could have been pared back from its 2 hour 20 minute length. Tough going.

Another tragic tale set in a sleepy, picturesque village—I am all for it. Some will find its pace too slow and quiet but I drifted with it, frame by frame, one stir at a time. Let the contexts on colonialism do the clamor through Elliott Crosset Hove's performance. And Maira von Hausswolff - The Academy may have snubbed you but not me. Your work, especially in Godland, blew me away and right off the hills of Iceland. The framing and the beauty in every still shot and panning. You put the godland in Godland. Just beautiful.

Stunning film worth watching

truly a masterful piece of filmmaking, that is very much recommended for any lover of film, and one of the best films of the year to be sure!

This one is the real thing. Don't miss it. It's as close to a masterpiece as we're likely to get this year.

I was drawn in, entertained, and informed.

It gets a lot of mileage out of the constant beautiful shots of the haunting Icelandic landscapes. I'm not convinced that the movie is as profound as it thinks it is but it has a certain appeal when trying to emulate other epics about obsession in the wilderness that preceded it.
