“…Elin Petersdottir is at the center of it all. She is riveting and magnetic from her first word. She is both fevered and chilly in equal measures and for good reason.” - Tracy Palmer, Signal Horizon
“With distinctive lips and hooded eyes that recall Charlotte Rampling, Petersdottir (whose screen credits include, at the other end of the spectrum, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga) inhabits the role of Áróra with quiet menace. “ - Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
“Set in one house over five days, the intensity of the situation is expertly presented by the grandmother, and head of the family, (played with relish by Elín Petersdottir, recently seen in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga) as she attempts to manipulate the lives of those around her.” - Robert W Monk Flickering Myth
“With strong performances from Elin Petersdottir and Stefanía Berdsen as mother and daughter, Natatorium is a film which demands the viewer’s attention to make sure they are taking everything in, and which is resolved in an appropriately tragic fashion” - Marie O’Sullivan The Movie Isle
“Elin Petersdóttir’s Áróra is a model of chilly stillness…” - Jane Darcy The Reviews Hub
