Iceland Is Best - Movie Review. #IcelandIsBest

My Review and Thoughts:

Iceland is Best is about a young girl named Sigga who decides that she's leaving Iceland and moving to Topanga, California. She wants to become a poetry writer. Along her journey to the airport with her three friends, they pick up a gentleman who falls for Sigga. He's been to California before and tells her that she'll just feel lost there, and that's why he moved back. She meets many other people along the way all with different things to show her and tell her. She finally does get to the airport and gets a ticket to go to California. This is an interesting movie. Does she end up with the guy who loves her? Does she finally go to California to become a poet? Or does she continue to stay living in Iceland? Is she really a poet? The music in the movie is beautiful!

Sigga, a 17 year old girl living in a remote fishing village in Iceland, announces to her parents that she is going to live in California to write poetry. Why can't she live next door and write poetry there? Sigga's friends offer to drive her to the airport. On the way, they give a lift to Nikki. He has just come back from California and wants Sigga to stay. Disconcerted, Sigga goes to her first ever poetry class, then decides to go to the party Nikki has thrown in her honour. He reveals his own love of poetry and kisses her. Jack, a jealous friend, spikes Sigga's drink. At her second poetry class, Nikki reads Sigga a love poem. Feeling rejected, Nikki spitefully reads the poem out loud that Sigga has written for him at a party in a trap laid by Jack. Broken-hearted, Sigga returns home. Nikki pursues her there, then all the way to the airport where he manages to break her leg. Sigga is taken home, in despair. Only when she reads her own poem to her friends, can she at last go.
