Mark Review by Mark ★★★ Decent film with a "I live in the most beautiful place on Earth" tone. Beautiful scenery, nice people, mundane sentiments on "home". Not unique to Hammerfest of course, can be found in countless places. Film can't really rise above that. May be worth 45 minutes of someone's time, for the scenery if nothing else.
