Critics Consensus

Presenting a knotty moral dilemma and refusing to provide easy answers, Cristian Mungiu's superbly well-acted Fjord has a chilly surface that belies a heated humanity beneath the frost.

Certainly, Mungui is such a skilled director that he could easily tell you who to root for and exactly when you should feel good about standing up and cheering. But he would rather leave you twisting a bit in the wind.

Few films provide as much to think about, to argue about, to be impassioned about. Fjord is breathtaking cinema in more ways than one, both urgent filmmaking and a profound comment on our times.

Its actors, including Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, as well as two young newcomers, make you believe in one family’s sudden nightmare.

For Renata Reinsve and Sebastian Stan, these are stellar performances displaying their capacity to fully disappear in their roles.

...both the right and the left have been accused of governmental overreach into people's health and private life and this is a particularly potent example that happens to have taken place in a progressive country.

If there is an upside to the film, it’s the performance of Sebastian Stan as the patriarch of the family.

Apparently, I'm not woke enough. I liked how it showed the 2 extremes of both sides.

Difficult story to tell about supposedly the Happiest Place on Earth. The Norwegian narrow mindedness and racist concepts came out in a revealing balanced view. They are opposite of being open minded with their supposedly liberal concepts.

Contrast of cultures in a quiet in a homogeneous town fits the landscapers with its avalanches. Leisurely but worth your time.

A well-crafted, deeply thought-provoking movie that asks uncomfortable but important questions and inspires us to stop, listen and think. Amazing performances from Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. This movie still has me thinking, months later.

Most definitely this is an Oscar contender. There should be more films like this, so that you leave the cinema filled, thinking, wondering, feeling. It is an uncomfortable type of thriller/drama. A slow burn. The acting is tremendous! Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve are unstoppable and seamless. Lisa Carlehed is also a new face for me, and she was excellent. This director, Christian Mungiu, is wonderful -- we are lucky to have his dedication to film and to stories that move us.
