Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

ashishnav1989 Before I say anything about the movie, let me tell you about myself a bit, I'm an undergrad student about to graduate in a few days. In past 4 yrs I have watched hundreds of movies. Before watching any movie, I would check it out here, read various blogs about it . You see, I have been very selective about the movies I watch.But for Heima, I did nothing. I just watched it and not just once but a hell lot of times. Those who have listened to and follow Sigur Rós are a lucky bunch of guys. For them this movie is more than just a must watch. For those who haven't yet heard Sigur Rós, well I'm sorry for you but there is still time and hope. Just watch this movie now to know Sigur Rós. This movie is one of the purest piece of art - visually, musically and emotionally. It connects with you at every level. The way it captures the essences of life with its exquisitely shot visuals and perfect music of Sigur Rós, it makes me make watch it again and again and each time I watch it, it does something to my brain, I don't know what but something good.The way of narration, all the interviews, the performances and the story behind each performance...all of them strikes a chord with you instantly. Its just so pure, I find it impossible to figure out any flaws and frankly every time the movie ends, I'm in tears.I have given quite a few 10/10's but this movie deserves more than that or rather this piece of art deserves much more than the ratings, it deserves everyone's attention and appreciation and I hope you give that :)

Seamus2829 When Sigur Ros finished up a world tour in 2007,they chose to play a series of free concerts in their homeland of Iceland (hence the title, 'Heima',or home land in Icelandic). This documentary follows their concert tour in various parts of the country. Framed against the rugged,but unspoiled & beautiful Icelandic countryside, 'Heima' is an absolute joy to watch,as well as listen to. Sigur Ros's music reminds one at times of pre-'Dark Side Of The Moon' era Pink Floyd (say,between Ummagumma & Meddle),with their use of spacey,sparse sound & high falsetto lyrics (sung in Icelandic,unfortunately without subtitles,but don't let that keep you from checking them out). This film has been described by some as a spiritual experience. It's more than obvious that the Sugarcubes aren't the only import from Iceland to make an impact outside their home country. No MPAA rating,but does contain a rude word or two during the interview sequences,but otherwise nothing to offend.

Gareth Hacking Having attended a one-off screening at the Manchester Cornerhouse, I can safely say that this film is visually and sonically stunning. The documentary chronicles Sigur Ros' 2006 free tour of Iceland, with every song introducing you to a different corner and aspect of Iceland. Each filmed performance takes place in a different location, from abandoned villages to massive open air concerts. And what performances they are!Interceded throughout are interviews with the band, their support string section - Amiina and in one memorable instance, a man who constructs musical instruments from rocks. They all come across as a thoroughly likable group who have a deep love for their home-country. This film serves as both a wonderful introduction to Sigur Ros and their music as well as a great advert for Iceland.

wangotango An absolute masterpiece...visually astonishing and deeply moving.The juxtaposition of opposites is seen and heard throughout this film (ex: light and shadow, life and death, motion and stillness, perfection and imperfection, young and old) which suggests the circularity of life. Heima also presents the viewer with an all-encompassing look at the beauty of Iceland as a segment of a much larger picture, Earth.This film is perfectly accentuated by the music of Sigur Ros as well as the free spirited attitude of the members of their band. Altogether, this film transcends the genre of music documentary (rockumentary) and takes it to an entirely new level with beauty that will bring tears to your eyes.
