                Absolutely pointless!

                Everyday routine life of a bunch of random people living in different units of the same building! Absolutely pointless!

                This great skill of animation arts could have potentially resulted in a brilliant film but lack of storyline makes it a mediocre banal one!

                daily life shown in a clever cartoon

                Gísli Darri Halldórsson's and Arnar Gunnarsson's Academy Award-nominated "Já-Fólkið" ("Yes-People" in English) shows the typical situations that people have to put up with in day-to-day life. This is the sort of cartoon that shows that a cartoon doesn't need fancy animation, just a good story. I've never been to Iceland, so I don't know how much it relates to their culture, but I recommend it.

                That's a no from me, chief

                Being an animator myself, I will always have a soft spot to animations of all kinds. Because I know how tedious and precise the work needs to be for the final product to look any good. And this is a well animated movie.

                But man, did it make 8 minutes feel like forever. I don't think the narrative or what was being conveyed was in anyway bad, but it was more like I got the idea a couple minutes in and the rest felt like a drag. The movie is about awkwardness in everyday life, but I don't think there is anything new to be seen here.

                Not for me.

                Brilliant

                Everything about this film is wonderful. You do not need subtitles not any kind. I loved the animation and narrative style. It tells a fascinating story about life in Iceland.

                every day

                A wise use of so familiar cliches. Couples, a mother and his son/ his student, work, school, house work , boring moments and refuges , loneliness and ...yes with many nuances. Ironic and touching, precise in each detail and beautiful for the fair way to discover details from ordinary lives in the honest light.
