My Take
Sigurðsson is the sort of actor I instinctively trust on screen. Four Edda Awards mark him as Iceland's quiet heavyweight, and his breakout as the policeman in Trapped, followed by Hlynur Palmason's stark films, showed a face that seems to carry the whole weather of the North Atlantic. He is not a flashy leading man; he is the kind of presence that simply makes a frame feel heavier and more honest. What strikes me is how a small national cinema keeps exporting performances this textured. In a loud, market-driven film world, his weathered stillness reads as a genuine alternative.
