Review by Andie Kay

There are so many different kinds of love. Love of family, friends, romantic love of a partner and the love you feel for someone but they are unaware of your feelings. Unrequited love is the most difficult love to experience for so many reasons. What if they don’t feel the same way? Or you know they don’t feel the same and you wish they did? It’s such a complex conundrum of emotions.

Belong To You handles this subject matter with such eloquence that even if you haven’t experienced unrequited love, you can relate to it. Isak Magnusson and Oliver Solberg directed and wrote the script for this short film that tugs on your heart strings. The acting talents of Gudsteinn Fannar and Margret Rosa were wonderful. Each of them was so believable and real before the camera that you felt their emotions.

I was so impressed by the script and the actors but also the cinematography. So much of this film was shot in the evening, and Agust Vidar Davidsson did an amazing job with the lighting. This was complimented by Adam Emil Rikhardsson’s work as Director of Photography – it was absolutely stunning. One of my favorite moments was the silhouette in the water of the two main characters as they sat at the edge of the pool. Exceptional job on this film and it’s a must watch!
