Our take

The hardships and vulnerability of one’s teenage years are honestly portrayed in this Icelandic coming-of-age tale. Dealing with all the consequences of social pressures and with the discovery of one’s sexuality, Jitters presents a truthful account of what it’s like to grow up in our modern world.
