A romantic and thrilling story that spans several decades and continents; TOUCH follows one widower's emotional journey to find his first love who disappeared 50 years ago, before his time runs out.

Critics Consensus

Tracing through the passage of time with a light touch, director Baltasar Kormákur's moving drama is a wistful reverie on life itself.

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.

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.

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.

4/5

The result is absorbing, affecting and, as Miko's secrets emerge, discreetly incisive about traumas personal and historical.

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.
