Metalhead Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Weekly
Brian Miller
By turns scathing, wounded, and contrite, the actress conveys an atonal, akimbo soulfulness that, yes, marks her as a true daughter of the Land of Bjrk.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Any film that features a cross-generational dance-off to Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" can't be all bad.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A deeply spiritual film about grief, forgiveness, and personal transformation: one of the most spiritually literate films of 2015.
Los Angeles Times
Martin Tsai
Writer-producer Ragnar Bragason renders the story only on a superficial level, developing Hera's character primarily through changes in wardrobe, hair and makeup.
New York Times
Andy Webster
It taps into something universal, and very precious, about loss, art and adolescent rebellion.
Village Voice
Michael Nordine
The film deftly marries the essence of the music to a moving coming-of-age framework.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Sincere and well acted.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
Metalhead is appreciative of metal culture and is also one of the most sensitive films I've seen lately about the contradictory ways people sometimes behave when trying to deal with grief.
Chicago Reader
Drew Hunt
This moody Icelandic character study illustrates the subjective nature of grief and the self-destructive ways people handle loss.
Movie Mezzanine
Jake Cole
If nothing else, Megadeth have never seemed so endearing and warm as they do when employed in the final scene.
