Beautiful Beings

For reasons known only to himself, troubled teenager Addi (Birgir Dagur Bjarkason) reached out to Balli (Áskell Einar Pálmason)-a hapless nerd whose violent bullying made the local media-and drew him into his small pack of outcasts. As Balli relishes the first acceptance he's ever known, though, the true profundity of Addi's problems starts to surface. Compelling study of disaffected youth from Iceland co-stars Viktor Benóný Benediktsson, Snorri Rafn Frímannsson. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Icelandic; Subtitles: English; bonus short "Whale Valley" (2013); theatrical trailers. In Icelandic with English subtitles.
