Morgunblaðið: "Hrafnhildur Hagalín breaks new ground in Icelandic adaptations for theatre with this text. ... There's something fluid, light, something related to music, dancing over her playwriting and imbued with the strong sexual undertones of the story itself. The dialogue is exceptionally targeted and although she tries to rearrange Laxness's text.. seemingly inserting one word at a time, maybe whole sentences... then Laxness is here. Hrafnhildur tells the story of the relationship between the daughters Sigurlín and Salka Valka, their loves, the men in their lives. A story about identity and no identity. "Edda Heiðrún catches the ball at her feet. ... There is a strong overall look to this show, she has chosen a grotesquely humorous approach to the play, the movements, the vocals and there are sparkling ideas in the acting and a precise work." "...an ambitious, imaginative show crafted with care."
