Stephen Romei The Australian 08/31/2024
Is there something worse than loving someone and losing them for five decades? Yes, there is. This film about two people who leave an irreversible touch on each other brought tears to my eyes. Go to Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Financial Times 08/29/2024
3/5
An old-school weepie smothered in a syrupy string score, Touch is an unexpected offering from Icelandic action director Kormákur, who has made his name pitting humans against nature: the Himalayas in Everest, the sea in Adrift, a rogue lion in Beast. Go to Full Review Catherine Bray Guardian 08/28/2024
4/5
This is a love story, pure and simple and unashamedly emotional. Kormákur also understands the visual appeal of romance: it’s not just about the pillow talk or heady declarations of passion, it’s about the images, and he doesn’t stint us in that regard.

7.5/10
Touch is as much of a reminder that it’s worth taking life by the horns, especially if you know you’re bound to be bucked off its back in a matter of time, as it is a beautifully-singular, organic love story. Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times 03/04/2025
4/5
The result is absorbing, affecting and, as Miko's secrets emerge, discreetly incisive about traumas personal and historical. Go to Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? 01/21/2025
Even if most of Touch’s steps are predictable, its configuration of characters and settings are unique and refreshing. Plus, it’s hard not to love Kroistófer and Miko. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
