Reviews:
Adam Swimmer, Jam! Movies:
"A Little Trip To Heaven has a
noirish quality with a highly effective visual style... The entire cast
is solid but the film truly belongs to Whitaker as he slowly pieces
together the truth."
Box Office Magazine:
"A Little Trip to Heaven has all the usual film noir tropes like
the femme fatale, corrupt heroes and expedient bureaucrats (Peter
Coyote, in fine form)."
Iceland Review:
"It is a dark film, but visually very, very strong. Forest Whitaker and
Julia Stiles are starring in the movie, and they shine."
Jeremy Mathews, Film Threat:
"Icelandic writer/director Kormákur makes his English-language
debut with a stylish film that captures the bleak gloom of a desolate
town and contrasts it with a satire of insurance commercials that
concentrate on happy, sunny days—not the ones that require insurance.
The percussion-based soundtrack and solid performances add to the eerie
feel as our ignoble hero descends into a quiet hell, perhaps looking for
a way into heaven, perhaps simply trying to keep its premiums down."
