MOVIE REVIEW
Sukkwan Island (2025)
A stark winter landscape in the Norwegian Fjords is the third key player in "Sukkwan Island," in which a father and son set out to spend an entire year together largely isolated from the world, at the father's instigation. It seems that Tom (Swann Arlaud) hopes to strengthen his relationship with teenager, Roy (Woody Norman), after some kind of messy divorce from Roy's mother, Elizabeth (Tuppence Middleton, too briefly). But Tom is twitchy from the start. Psychological cracks are clearly going to split open out in the wilderness.
