IMDb 5.7 Metacritic 64 RT 90%

Skip this one unless you're a hardcore Iceland noir fan—the premise has potential but the execution is glacially slow and narratively murky, leaving you with more frustration than catharsis on a night when you could watch something that actually grabs you.

Plot

A 19th-century widow has to make an impossible choice when, during an especially cruel winter, a foreign ship sinks off the coast of her Icelandic fishing village.
