Review: 'Woman at War' is a taut environmental thriller with a charismatic superhero
Halldora Geirharosdottir plays an eco-activist in “Woman at War.” By Ann Hornaday Ann Hornaday Movie critic Email Bio Follow Movie critic March 6 at 11:09 AM Rating:
Played by the Icelandic actress Halldora Geirharosdottir — who cuts an arresting, statuesque figure against mossy rural highlands — Halla doesn’t speak until she encounters a farmer who agrees to help her in what turns out to be her single-minded quest: to protest the Icelandic government’s cooperation with polluting corporations, in this case by temporarily paralyzing an aluminum smelter.
Halldora Geirharosdottir in “Woman at War.” Set in the aftermath of the 2008 financial meltdown, “Woman at War” has all the contours of a taut, paranoid thriller, if you can imagine that set within the tidy, brightly lit environs of Iceland, rather than the shadows of Wall Street or Washington.
