Against the Current Reviews
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Against the Current's style imposes a generic visual language onto a subject who's anything but generic.
Film Threat
Ray Lobo
Sveinsson presents, in all its sublimity, the sea's beauty, and deadly treachery, taking a loving, caring approach to Grétarsdóttir's tale.
The Victoria Advocate
Joe Friar
Veiga Grétarsdóttir's transitioning story is even more courageous than her athletic feat. It's an inspiring and moving story that in Sveinsson's hands, circumnavigates heartstring pulls by focusing on victories large and small.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Breathtaking, thrilling and poignant. A triumph!
Gay City News
Steve Erickson
Against the Current doesn't waste time arguing about trans female athletes' legitimacy. It just shows the life of one such woman and celebrates her accomplishments, with great pictorial style.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
"Against the Current" is a gem. It's gorgeous in many ways.
Vague Visages
Olivia Popp
Sveinsson's "Against the Current" defines itself as an idiosyncratic, deeply personal character study of a remarkable woman, who the world eagerly waits upon to see what she accomplishes next.
New York Times
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
"Against the Current" feels cliché even with an intriguing subject.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
...doesn't always fit together seamlessly, but the result is a powerful look and transformation and acceptance, along with an impressive feat of physical endurance.
