Stefán Karl in Water of Life - Vatn lífs­ins (2001) 





“Stefán Karl Stefánsson is the leading actor, a young actor who has become famous for his talent in comedy in a few years. He likes to make Illuga a laughing temper, but can not interpret his anguish when he is torn. Atli Rafn Sigurðarson is in the role of Sigurður his brother, does not know if he is going to make him a cobblestone sculpture or looking deeper and does not do either. Compared to them, Nanna Kristín Magnúsdóttir and Jón Páll Eyjólfsson are always credible as Ásta and Ingólfur, Illuga’s friends, who alone stand with him when he is hard at the valley, Nanna Kristín is making an incredible experience in his interpretation of the long-haired neglect. The children who played the brothers and Ásta young went very well in their role.”
