Icelandic comedy drama directed by Grímur Hákonarson. After her husband, dairy farmer Reynir (Hinrik Ólafsson), dies in a road accident, Inga (Arndís Hrönn Egilsdóttir) finds herself drowning in debt and decides to speak out against the rampant corruption in her co-operative farming community. (Curzon Artificial Eye)

For viewers who enjoy these latitudes, The County offers a pleasing look into their rural corners and at the cows, the milk, the hard, honest life of the farmers and the operation of a cooperative that seems to mean well by the village and its independence from the big chains, but at the same time abuses its power over the farmers. Until a local Rebel Woman confronts it. Interesting. But when you get that feeling of “okay, now something's going to happen” from one of the later scenes, nothing happens and the closing credits roll. “That’s it?”

"Time for me to live my life, be happy and be free. Now's the time to leave this place, I've got the world to see." - The words of the upbeat final song suggest much about the feelings and future direction of the protagonist Inga, who, after the death of her husband, defies the harsh rules of the community in which she lives. And they do so regardless of whether there is a real chance of making a difference. (75%)
