A tightly packed little snowball of a comedy that picks up steam as it rolls along.

Everything about this Icelandic sitcom comedy seemed off kilter.

It's a strange and distant tale that would only appear on Jerry Springer in America but comes off as quirky and cute when presented from the cold Nordic perspective.

A film that's as outlandish as it is entertaining.

A times as flatly deadpan as Hylner, at others as passionately eccentric as Abril's Lola, 101 Reykjavik is at least dedicatedly unexpected.

Imagine, if you dare, Ingmar Bergman as a consummate slacker with a wicked sense of pop humour.
