    Rather dull and pointless, even for an art film. some funny parts, and its not terribly long, but it leaves you asking why this kid's story deserved being told.

    At once saddening and amusing, Nói Albinói is a stunning study into life on the outside.

    An exceptionally unque story about adolescence into a maturing adult that is both unexpected and strangely remarkable however dark or bleek. It's a real foreign treat and the best movie to come out of Iceland, well, ever!

  1. A playfully quirky and, ultimately, unexpectedly affecting portrait of a 17-year-old slacker.

    Kari combines Kaurismaki's deadpan minimalism and Truffaut's sensitivity toward adolescent yearning with a hefty dose of gallows humor, and tops it all off with an apocalyptic ending.

    Performances are spot-on from the entire cast; each memorable character is finely detailed and full of eccentricities that are beautifully underplayed.
