Einkunnir og umsagnir

I never heard of this movie until I started looking for movies in one of my favorite genres: time travel. This movie feels like a play, with well thought out dialogue, maybe a bit stunted for a movie, but it certainly sucked me in with the premise. Some scenes seems random, like the movers coming in and removing furniture, and outside conversations that seemed arbitrary. No sense in picking it apart since overall it's very good, but shy of great.

A rare movie in that it's lack of location's does not distract from the well written and acted dialogue. With that you find yourself emersed in the way a good movie should.

This is hands down my favorite movie. I have listened to it more times over the years than I can even count.
