"La veo, es un disfrute. Y siento de nuevo el empoderamiento de la lucha por lo justo, de la fuerza de la unión, de la necesidad de cambio. Y me viene el orgullo de las manifestaciones de hace unos años, TODAS JUNTAS, niñas y abuelas, TODAS... y el daño q ha hecho la división, el enfrentamiento entre nosotras... el enfrentamiento desde dentro. GUSTO DE DOCUMENTAL EN TODOS LOS SENTIDOS, por su contenido, por su forma, por sus imágenes. ES 10."
Translation in English
"I watch it, and it is a sheer delight. I feel once again the empowerment that comes from fighting for what is just—from the strength of unity, from the need for change. And I am filled with pride recalling the demonstrations of a few years ago—ALL OF US TOGETHER: young women and grandmothers, EVERYONE... and the damage that division has wrought—the conflict amongst ourselves... the conflict from within. A DOCUMENTARY OF EXQUISITE TASTE IN EVERY SENSE—for its content, for its form, for its imagery. It is a perfect 10."

"아이슬란드가 멈추던 날 보고 왔는데
되게… 좋았는데
한창 페미활동? 열심히 했던 때도 생각났는데
한편으로는 지금 우리나라 상황을 보면 오히려 그때의 아이슬란드보다도 운동하기에는 위험한 것 같다는 생각도 들어서
너무 슬펐어… 아심란해"
Translation in English
"I'm still kinda shook from watching The Day Iceland Stood Still. It was so empowering and it also made me remember the time when I was very active in feminist activities. I realize how much harder it is to be a feminist in Korea right now. It's honestly really frustrating.”

"영화는 분명 분노할 만한 성차별을 다루는데 영화도, 출연하는 인터뷰이들도 모두 유쾌했다. 유쾌를 넘어 통쾌했다. 이 덕분인지 여성 영화제라는 특성 덕인지 관객들이 눈치보지 않으며 화내고 통쾌해하고 띠꺼워하고 응원하고 감탄하는게 느껴져 오랜만에 군중 속에서 자유했다."
Translation in English
"The movie was all about that sexist BS, but the both film and interviewee were so freakin' hilarious and satisfying! And because it was a women's film festival, everyone felt so free to be angry, excited, and supportive. It was like a breath of fresh air."

아이슬란드가 멈추던날들 조온잼. 이거 다큐멘터리 상시볼수있게 어디 ott에라도 들어오면 좋겠다. 다큐+애니+시간을뛰어넘은재연.
Translation in English
"I'm totally obsessed with The Day Iceland Stood Still. It would be sick if it was on Netflix or something so I could binge-watch it. The mix of documentary, animation, and those time-traveling reenactments is so fire!"
