An impeccably made bleak comedy with an exactly calibrated, almost musical sense of timing, Nói is singular enough to have swept the Eddas, the Icelandic Academy Awards.

Kari combines Kaurismaki's deadpan minimalism and Truffaut's sensitivity toward adolescent yearning with a hefty dose of gallows humor, and tops it all off with an apocalyptic ending.
75
Like a young director with serious aims, there is an earnest tone here that makes Noi Albinoi a success.
75
Quirky, heartfelt acting makes this a superior entry in the perennial teenage-misfit genre.
70
An inspired mix of realism, humor and metaphor.
60
Nói makes a stab at tragic romance.
30
Kari may eventually go far, but for now he's one of the less interesting inhabitants of international art cinema's disaffected-youth ghetto.
