John Doyle Globe and Mail Jul 6, 2021
In what is a slow-moving, Stygian and enigmatic eight-part series (Icelandic with English subtitles) there's a beguiling mystery about heartbreak. Go to Full Review Sarah Krasnostein The Saturday Paper 5 days ago
With equal dexterity the camera conveys the sublimity of the vast volcanic landscape and the topography of the human face. Go to Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? Jan 23, 2023

Katla struggles to find its direction in the beginning of the show, once it gets going, it’s an incredibly intense and psychological mystery. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Jul 21, 2022
Harsh, grown-up, grim without the need to be graphic. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof Aug 23, 2021
It could have compressed everything into fewer chapters, but it is also a work that arouses a certain curiosity from the start and gradually expands the universe it poses to become more and more interesting. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Peg Aloi Arts Fuse Aug 23, 2021
In the confident hands of this filmmaker, the powerful narrative unfolds with striking simplicity and intensity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Peter K @Vacadoug 1 day ago Captivating drama of Icelandic life with a unique plot twist! See more David D @RT02951528 Aug 11, 2026 The plot could have been amazing if they went a different direction with it. Instead it was irrational decsions galore to comically stupid conclusions. See more Martin J @RT86640964 Aug 3, 2026 Took a few episodes to become compulsive viewing, but worth it in the end. Great acting and clever storyline; wonderful cinematography, I’ll never consider my house needs dusting after watching this, but they could have benefited from a local car wash (location too remote for an Albanian crew though) See more Jim E @Jimmo293 Jun 20, 2026 Excellent show, really great acting and themes and location and a cool concept that let's the issues and relationships be explored. See more Vanessa R @RT39407246 Jun 4, 2026 I saw this long time ago, it was so slow See more Noel K @nollaig Apr 12, 2026 Slow, abominably slow! I lasted for four episodes and still hadn't found a character that I liked. Jumped to final episode and little had changed. See more Read all reviews
