“Woman at War<\/i> strikes a near perfect balance between delivering a character study, an urgent environmental and societal message and some good old-fashioned entertainment through a genuine and warm tale of one woman\u2019s stubborn efforts to be on the right side of history.” RogerEbert.com<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Packed with surprises, this timely, beautifully shot and acted Icelandic eco-drama is dominated by the double life of Halla, a 50-year-old independent woman, industrial saboteur and beloved choir teacher. However, just as she plans her most ambitious wrecking operation, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Geirhar\u00f0sd\u00f3ttir [Halla]… proves to be supremely at ease with both the physical demands of the film and its trickier internal journeys.” Washington Post<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
