The County Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Roxana Hadadi
The County is at its best when it centers Egilsdóttir's nuanced performance.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Even with some strangely perfunctory plot pivots and an abruptly unsatisfying ending, "The County" benefits from Egilsdottir's central performance, which is both delicate and imposingly stalwart.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
At a brisk 92 minutes, The County takes less time to watch than the average Monopoly game takes to play, while offering much the same grim lesson.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Angie Han
It's a small but mighty movie, and one that I found satisfying.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Inextricably rooted in lead Arndis Hrönn Egilsdöttir's quietly defiant performance, "The County" tells an immersive, timeless David vs. Goliath story set against a contemporary backdrop of shifting societal norms.
Variety
Alissa Simon
"The County" is full of feisty female energy and imagery, and sprinkled with rousing "you go girl!" comic moments.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
...still satisfying, sporting a characteristically Icelandic black-comedy dourness to the humor en route to an underdog's triumph...
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
The County is so lacking in inspiration that I had to double check to make sure it wasn't some heap of "based on a true story" pablum.
AWFJ.org
Sherin Nicole
Inga, played with verve and a shimmering yet contained rage by Arndís Hrönn Egilsdóttir, fights the corruption and misogyny of a dairy co-op with pure force of will, milk, and manure. Yes, you've read that right. I'm grinning because it is incandescent.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A rousing underdog tale which shows just what can be achieved when people are prepared to work together to tackle injustice.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
It frames the David vs. Goliath story almost like a thriller, with intriguing allegorical implications about the perils of overreaching government in modern Europe.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Hákonarson's woman against corporate Mafia premise is solid enough but The County never manages to generate the emotional intensity that the feuding brothers brought to his previous film.
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Hákonarson favors a somber tone and maintains a movie that never quite slips out of register.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
In The County ... the director keeps the grandeur of the scenery at a distance, but it is always there, nonetheless, a reproach to the rot at the center of the tale.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
It is certainly well-made and well-acted, but the very concept of the whole enterprise is so odd and off-putting that it left a bad taste in my mouth that none of its genuine achievements could quite overcome.
Slashfilm
Marshall Shaffer
For those looking to understand the global nature of the struggles faced by those who dare to resist all-encompassing economic organizations, this movie delivers the goods.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[I]ts effectiveness as a character study and its purpose are pretty shallow.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
The film takes a stand for the common man, or in this case a middle-aged, emerging activist, without a galvanizing, crowd-pleasing Norma Rae moment. It's much too subdued for that.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
The County follows the cinematic tradition of rabble-rousing women who dare upset the societal norms including those in Norma Rae, North Country, Erin Brockovich and a subversive pinch of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
...a drama that resonates as a blast of fresh country air while conveying all the ways in which it can be suffocating.
