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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 22, 2002

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 22, 2002

Hilynur serves as a likable antihero.

101 Reykjavik sometimes seems to be drifting pointlessly, but it keeps on righting itself, with moments of humor and imagination.

Gudnason makes a delightful anti-hero, Abril is a kick in the pants and the snowy locations are nicely integrated.

For non-Icelandic viewers, 101 Reykjavik is ... of interest for the beautifully photographed glimpse, eccentric though it may be, into life in that little-known country.

A fascinating and sexy performance from Spanish actress Victoria Abril as Lola.

Kormakur's need to make the picture fuller drowns it with inconsistency.

As an offbeat character study, it's a curiosity well worth checking out.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 4, 2001

Finely acted and shot with a beautiful, understated cinematic sweep ... 101 Reykjavk is a poignant, endearingly offbeat work.
