TELEGRAPH, UK, Review Of Horses and Men, the directorial debut of Icelandic actor, writer and stage director Benedikt Erlingsson, is formed of six interlocking fables of rural life. Each involves at least one horse and its human owner: two soulful beasts united against the blind cruelty of fate. The stories play out across plains of blue ash, green rock and grey snow — landscapes familiar from blockbusters like Prometheus and Noah and the fantasy television series Game of Thrones , although in a real life context,they lose none of their alien beauty.

ROTTEN TOMATOES Rating
5 stars … Critics Consensus
“Wellcrafted and resoundingly original, OF HORSES AND MEN is as intelligent, inscrutable, and breathtakingly lovely as its titular equines”
