Plot
A woman who abandoned her son after a tragedy is sought out by him decades later, as he meets his estranged mother in the Arctic.
Sinekatalog’s take
Claudia Llosa's English-language drama follows a woman who abandoned her son and his later search in the Arctic. Beautiful to look at but vague and heavy, with Jennifer Connelly and Cillian Murphy, it is a muddled, mystical letdown.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
