Watch Back Soon For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is an example of how a low budget movie can be refreshing and original! The story evolves around a woman, whose main profession is to roll joints for people who are too busy to do it by themselves, but she decides to give up her business and go to the South with her 2 sons. Many funny things take place while she's trying to do so, and her clients, who are politicians, doctors, musicians etc are so dependent on her, that go to her place to wait for her, and end up having a magnificent party! I enjoyed it all along, it was really funny and with a great main character, whose eccentric personality overwhelmed the whole film! The melancholy of the Icelandic landscape is the only negative feeling I had at the end. But the story and the characters 'stayed with me' long after the movie. I definitely suggest it!!

It's a light comedy and the Icelandic landscapes are stunning. Both points have little connection, still why not put them together if they were going to shoot it there? For all those tourists that only go to the Blue Lagoon, it may be interesting but adds nothing to the comedy (more than that landscapes dissolve the warm feeling created by the ensemble cast).All in all Back Soon lacks comedic twists and turns. It's a feel-good movie that relishes in its own thin storyline. It drags its feet more often than not, but on the whole the comic tone is fine and makes it an OK movie if you don't expect too much.

This is a must seen ! Is a simple comedy with very believable characters, even if the story seems unreal : Anna works as a (succesfull)dealer in Reykyavik, but decides to sell everything in order to leave the island with her two sons... but a series of funny and incredible situations stars at the moment went she thinks she finally close her deal.This film is full of poetry, like Anna (who also is a poet in her "lost" time). As well, lots of self-mockery, making fun of the Icelandic world : islander mentality, Nordic clichés, etc.Sometimes, you can find beauty where nobody would stare at. Nice comedy to see it... and if you did, see it again ! Thanks and don't let me be misunderstood
