‘Fjord’ Review: Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve Help Cristian Mungiu Put Ethics on Trial
The film 'Fjord' by Cristian Mungiu explores themes of ethics and community dynamics through the story of a Romanian immigrant family. Starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, the film showcases the tensions that arise when foreign influences challenge local traditions. While it excels in its early narrative, the film's courtroom drama segment feels overly explicit compared to its nuanced beginning.

- ▪The film features Romanian immigrant Mihai Gheorghiu and his wife Lisbet, who face community backlash upon returning to their rural home.
