Filmpie Review

“If there is something unsaid or undone in your life, it is never too late to rectify it.” That quote from Icelandic writer-director Baltasar Kormákur (101 Reykjavík) gets to the heart of Touch. His daughter gave him Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson’s novel as a Christmas present in 2021 and, enthralled by the material, he bought the film rights within a week. His goal was to lure audiences with a complex romantic story but tell it in a quiet, understated way. He’s achieved just that.
