Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAll Greenland scenes were shot in Iceland.
- GoofsThe dogs shown outside in Greenland are not authentic Greenlandic sled dogs, the only dogs allowed in Greenland. This is only true north of latitude 66, and Nuuk is well south of this. In fact, Greenland Dogs are likewise not allowed south of the 66th, specifically to avoid interbreeding.

Sean O'Connell: Beautiful things don't ask for attention.
- Crazy creditsThe making and authorized distribution of this film supported over 15,000 jobs and involved hundreds of thousands of work hours.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that their preferred PG classification could be obtained by making limited changes, including to remove sight of naked female pin-up pictures and to reduce violent threat in a fight scene. When an edited version of the film was submitted for formal classification, these scenes had been addressed and the film was consequently classified PG.

Featured review
I saw this movie on a special sneak preview event. I admit being utterly mesmerized by some of the trailers. I did really enjoy the film. It has a nice message and is definitely a feel good movie. There is nothing wrong with that. For me, this is the most beautifully looking film I've seen this year. The cinematography and camera shots were fantastic - right up there with Life of Pi and Gravity. It's definitely worth seeing on the big screen. I personally enjoyed Ben Stiller in a more serious role. The film has comedic elements but everything is a bit more subtle and reflective of a man trying to find his inner courage and voice.
