A times as flatly deadpan as Hylner, at others as passionately eccentric as Abril's Lola, 101 Reykjavik is at least dedicatedly unexpected.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Imagine, if you dare, Ingmar Bergman as a consummate slacker with a wicked sense of pop humour.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

There's something juicily amusing about the nonjudgmental way Kormakur views his characters.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

101 Reykjavik sometimes seems to be drifting pointlessly, but it keeps on righting itself, with moments of humor and imagination.
