Winter Brothers Ratings & Reviews
Hyperallergic
Tanner Tafelski
Pálmason seems to work intuitively, and what he creates with Winter Brothers is a shaggy film that alternates between being invigorating and tedious.
The Playlist
Bradley Warren
Winter Brothers picks up on the dramatic, interdependent scenarios generated by its setting.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The cast, including Victoria Carmen Sonne, as the object of both Emil and Johan's affections, and Lars Mikkelsen, as the quarry boss, is uniformly strong and singular.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie also has a startling visual texture. Shooting on 16-millimeter film, Mr. Palmason, gliding his camera through snowy woods, has an eye for compositions that rhyme chalk-covered faces and wintry vistas.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
Winter Brothers may not be completely successful when all is said and done, but it is certainly a singular film.
Village Voice
Danny King
Plmason opts to use Emil's angst not for a forward-moving tale of vengeance but in service of an increasingly abstract study of environment and interiority.
The Hollywood Reporter
Neil Young
A confidently handled, promisingly edgy feature debut...Winter Brothers dribbles into obfuscation its closing stages but has already confirmed Palmason and company as names to watch.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
A film told not so much via traditional cause-and-effect plotting as through tactile, textural imagery, expressively physical performances and industrial-tinged atonal soundscapes.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
Winter Brothers's deft ability to sustain it for as a long as it does is a sure sign of a filmmaking force to watch.
