A better-than- average tale of teenage angst that balances its tone between sorrow and buoyant good cheer.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

If you see only one quirky coming-of-age movie set on a remote Icelandic fiord this year, make it Noi.

Who can resist a movie set in a town where the natural history museum, filled with stuffed polar bears and such, is 'the wildest place in town'?
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post

As a drama, Noi seems as cold as the icy land in which it takes place. But it still offers a glimpse into a rarely seen world, and more adventurous moviegoers will find it eye-opening.
Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News
