Reviews:
*****
Underdog is an inspiring, immaculately researched and compelling film from a talented and promising new documentarian about the persistence to fight for our four legged friends and a country that is overcoming its cynophobic history.
*****
Rjómi is a captivating and emotional documentary that will deeply resonate with dog lovers and those who appreciate stories of resilience in tough times. It's a powerful reminder of how far we're willing to go to protect and cherish our loved ones, and the importance of questioning unfair systems in pursuit of what we believe is right.
*****
The story is captivating, fun, sad and empowering at the same time and will give you a glimpse into ordinary lives that must pull together and try to put an end to government bullying.
*****
Kristinsdóttir’s impressive levels of research and her persistent onscreen investigation show her to be a future force to watch in documentary filmmaking, as she backs up all statements with archive evidence, professional talking heads from across the seas and even picks apart the inaccuracies in MAST’s weak and unbacked arguments and allegations.
