A moderately amusing chronicle of one man's fight for his right to lethargy.
07/07/01
A fascinating and sexy performance from Spanish actress Victoria Abril as Lola.

But life, unlike MTV programming, does change now and then.
04/24/01
A tightly packed little snowball of a comedy that picks up steam as it rolls along.
12/01/03
There's something deep and true beneath the humor.
09/06/01
It's a strange and distant tale that would only appear on Jerry Springer in America but comes off as quirky and cute when presented from the cold Nordic perspective.

A fresh alternative to overrated blockbusters.

Life in Iceland never looked so bland and swingin' at the same time.

Kormakur ... balances tones with a smooth, mature confidence.

A times as flatly deadpan as Hylner, at others as passionately eccentric as Abril's Lola, 101 Reykjavik is at least dedicatedly unexpected.
