The Gheorghius, a devout Romanian Norwegian couple, resettle in a village set in a distant fjord where they become close to their neighbors, the Halbergs. Their children bond despite their different education. When adolescent Elia Gheorghiu shows up at school with some bruises on her body, the community asks itself if the traditional education that the Gheorghiu children get from their parents would have anything to do with it.

3.5/4
Fjord traces the most delicate, most pliable dynamics of modern democracy, in a tale designed as much to infuriate as to engender difficult introspection. Go to Full Review Tomris Laffly Elle 4d
Romanian filmmaker Mungiu constructs another slowly simmering knockout. It unfolds in a gray area of clashing ethical priorities without an ounce of didactic moral pandering, Go to Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker 4d
