The Gheorghius, a devout Romanian Norwegian couple, resettle in a village set in a distant fjord where they become close to their neighbors, the Halbergs. Their children bond despite their different education. When adolescent Elia Gheorghiu shows up at school with some bruises on her body, the community asks itself if the traditional education that the Gheorghiu children get from their parents would have anything to do with it.

...Fjord sustains nail-biting tension across its lengthy running time through meticulous pacing, confirming the Palme d’Or laureate as one of contemporary cinema’s sharpest moral observers. Go to Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out 4d

Inevitably, Fjord will be a Rorschach test for viewers. It’s an easy film to project your values onto, but no one emerges unscathed. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) 4d
4/5
Some of the minor roles are implausibly written and acted, but it’s a quietly revelatory turn from Stan, who is almost unrecognisable as the balding, bespectacled and contained Mihai. Go to Full Review Hugo Emmerzael In Review Online 23h
Hints at more mainstream appeal, [but] the wanting execution signals a rare misstep from one of Europe’s strongest, and heretofore most reliable, cinematic voices. Go to Full Review Savina Petkova Hammer to Nail 1d
6/10
Fjord works as an understated critique of the far left and the far right, of allowing too much and not allowing enough. [...] Mungiu’s script sways between the two extremes, asking the viewer to take a side. Go to Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Region Free 1d
2/5
Mungiu is a talented director and writer. His cast is uniformly excellent. But it is all in service of something that doesn't have a clear idea of what it wants to attack. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
