An Icelandic ecoterrorist, a sort of one-woman monkey-wrench gang, has to make some tough personal decisions when her chance to adopt a kid comes up just as the authorities start to close in. As the planet edges closer to environmental disaster, movies like this one make more and more sense. Halldóra Geirhardsdóttir gives an uncompromising performance as the compulsively hard-headed protagonist, a role that in an American remake would be perfect for Jodie Foster.
