Extraordinary feast for the eyes and ears:
The extraordinary, soaring beauty of "Heima" is beyond compare to almost anything I've seen or heard on the screen. The makers of this film have crafted a near-perfect document of sound and vision.

thoughts of a sigur ros fan:

This "movie" is simply amazing. It is photographed in an amazingly beautiful way and SR's soundtrack is absolutely perfect.
