“Hilarious and rowdy! Lurid and sexy!”- Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
“An amusing comedy that recalls The Celebration… The film’s flamboyant portrayals of characters…have a malicious comic edge.”- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
“Mischievous and oddball.”- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
“Graceful. Visually arresting…Beautiful.”- Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine
The Sea, a dark comedy in the vein of The Celebration, takes what we know of the family drama and spins it into an unexpected whirl of emotions with surprising revelations. Set against Iceland’s majestic coast, an aging father summons his children home from various parts of the world to unload a secret that will cause long hidden resentments and desires to rise to the surface - this leads to a startling finale that will forever affect the whole family. Winner of 8 Icelandic Academy Awards and a hit at Sundance and the Toronto Film Festival, The Sea confirms Baltasar Kormakur as one of the world’s most exciting emerging filmmakers.
