This is very hard to watch... You know what side the filmmakers are on, obviously, but to their credit they do try to give these people the space to explain themselves. Go to Full Review Claire Shaffer New York Times 05/26/2022
A refreshingly multidimensional take on the controversy around whale hunting in the Faroe Islands, a tradition that dates back to the 9th century. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 04/01/2022
