It's a trip into a primordial world and primeval sensibilities, and if you're looking to shake off the mall-movie blahs, there are few better places to look.

Wall Street Journal
Rating: 5/5 --
A film about belief, faith, the foundations of what we think we know is true in terms of history, as well as the nature of good and of evil.

Father Son Holy Gore
Rating: B --
Mikkelsen verifies that, even without saying a word, he's an unnervingly unhinged presence.

Lessons of Darkness
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Mr. Refn, who can pull off stylish brutality (in the Pusher films and Bronson), shows no knack for the kind of visionary, hallucinatory image making that would render Valhalla Rising memorable.

Valhalla Rising serves as to remind us that small filmmaking is not only effective, but vital.

A thundering visceral experience, a rich and layered work of art that acts as a stylistic punch to the gut.

From the Front Row
Rating: 8/10 --
Brutal, thoughtful, re-envisioning of Vikings. . .A bit ponderous and pompous, powerfully showcases Mikkelsen's non-verbal acting, striking imagery, evocative landscapes.

Product Description:
A man with a remarkable talent for violence must fight to survive when he sets out on an extraordinary journey in this fantasy from director Nicolas Winding Refn. One Eye (Mads Mikkelsen) is the nickname given to a nameless, mute warrior who has become a slave to Barde (Alexander Morton), a wealthy Scotsman who obtained One Eye for his remarkable fighting skills. One Eye is a fierce warrior but shows little loyalty to his master, and when the opportunity presents itself, One Eye murders Barde and his mercenaries and sets off on his own, with a young boy (Maarten Stevenson) tagging along to speak on his behalf. Eager to leave Denmark behind in favor of freedom and adventure, One Eye throws in his lot with a band of Christian Vikings, who've set out on an ambitious quest to travel to Jerusalem and claim the Holy Land as their own. But the voyage to the Holy City is a difficult one, and the Vikings are met with violent resistance, forcing One Eye to rely on his talents as a warrior to protect himself and his young apprentice. VALHALLA RISING received its North American premiere at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival.
