Atmospheric - Heartstone review by TB
This film has wonderful atmospherics in its setting and in the way it’s shot. Coupled with two young leading actors, who put in sensational performances, this film packs an emotive punch.
The performances and storyline have an authentic feel to them and for the final third of this film the powerfulness of whats unfolding really hits you.
The two young male leads were terrific and surely future stars.

Quietly powerful - Heartstone review by JR
As the previous reviewers have said this is a powerful, atmospheric and sensitive film. A story of teenage love and friendship powerfully portrayed by the two male leads. The fact the story is played out against the bleak background of rural Iceland makes the the production pack an extra punch. Totally believable and utterly compelling and moving without sentimentality.
