Woman at War (2018) - 101 min

Country: Iceland
Director: Benedikt Erlingsson
Cast: Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir & Jóhann Sigurðarson.
Halla is a choir director who lives alone in an apartment and her inspiring personalities are Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi. Sometimes, she acts as a vigilante superhero who cuts the power supply of a particular aluminum plant.
Geirharðsdóttir’s splendid performance makes the movie an enjoyable one to watch. A trio of Icelandic folk musicians and traditional Ukrainian singers appears on several scenes to guide the viewer what's going to happen next. It was selected as the Icelandic entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards and Jodie Foster is set to direct and star in an English-language remake of this Icelandic movie. Bergsteinn Björgúlfsson captures some breathtaking visuals of Iceland Landscapes and No matter what, The visuals of Icelandic films always look damn beautiful. Overall, It’s an intriguing attempt from the director and a well-crafted piece of work.
Verdict: Good
