Eskimo Press: "For some reason when I go to an Iceland film at the cinema I am always expecting to see stage play; most Icelandic actors work in the theaters so usually their performances on film is very forced and over the top, And ,on top of that, a lot of the time the Icelandic directors and screenplay writers seem to be in on it."
I believe that Guðlaugur does not approve of this film being made. His quote to the press what, "I wish I had died before they made a film about this."
It's probably horrible for him to watch it.
