A coming-of-age story about the 16-year old boy Ari, who has been living with his mother in Reykjavik and is suddenly sent back to the remote Westfjords to live with his father Gunnar. There, he has to navigate a difficult relationship with his father, and he finds his childhood friends changed. In these hopeless and declining surroundings, Ari has to step up and find his way.
冰岛少年的残酷成人式，一如北欧的天气一般，影片冰冷凌冽，阴郁沉闷，导演用极端克制平实纪实的镜头记述了少年种种残忍的青春，两场性爱戏简直一万头草泥马从心头飘过，对于这样冰冷的地方，实在很难让人喜欢得起来。★★★
需要把电影拍成这么重口味吗？
什么是残酷青春 大概如此 08年短片的情节加入到电影里了，似乎导演有这个喜好 当时觉得那么小的小孩做出这样的行为出于本能，现在这个年纪更合理一些 最后的镜头提升 3.5
冰岛少年成长礼..冰岛残酷物语，还好最后，始终要来一点温馨。
没有任何见地，青春除了残酷还可以有很多暖色调
