Critical response
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 89%, based on 9 reviews, and an average rating of 7.5/10.Film critic Jessica Kiang of 'Variety magazine' wrote in her review: "... while we may not always know what Plmason means, there's the undeniable sense that he does, and mostly, that's enough to add up to an impressively original, auspiciously idiosyncratic debut, one that scratches away at truths about masculinity, lovelessness and isolation, that are no less true for being all but inexpressible. Instead, we have to hunt for them, like were mining elusive, subterranean seams of meaning, that even the brightest flashlight can only ever partially illuminate." Film critic Neil Young of 'The Hollywood Reporter' wrote in his review: "Chilly scenes of workplace discord dominate 'Winter Brothers' (Vinterbrodre), a confidently handled, promisingly edgy feature debut from Copenhagen-based, Icelandic writer-director Hlynur Palmason."
