Without trivializing the matters at hand, The Seer and the Unseen tempers complex national interests with droll human ones.

While its mystical subject defies logic, Sara Dosa’s verite film is cogent and appealing thanks to a savvy strategy. Dosa respects Ragga’s beliefs without endorsing them, and positions her activism as a metaphor for saving the environment.

The Seer and the Unseen has more to offer by showing us the kind and gentle landscape and people of Iceland. It’s best to take the movie for what it is at face value. If you’re the type of person, who just wants to mock an old lady, then you best move on to a different film.

Nature is the most fascinating element of The Seer and the Unseen, but Dosa is more focused on Ragga and the elves.
