Under The Tree will haunt you. But it will only haunt you for the rest of your life.
This is one of my favorite "terrible movies". It is not only a potent parable on the dangers of pettiness, personal entitlement and the place where unchecked grief and anger meet , but it is also a rarely seen (be it morbid) slice of modern Icelandic life.
I simply have not seen a lot of movies come out of Iceland in my lifetime, but most of the ones I have seen, I've enjoyed. Under The Tree is not just good for an Icelandic movie, it's good for a movie.
Pairs well with Antidepressants.
