Variety’s Alissa Simon reviews Baldvin Z’s Jitters (Órói) in favourable terms: “An intelligent, sensitive Icelandic high schooler comes to grips with his sexuality in likable teen soap opera “Jitters,” from first-time feature helmer Baldvin Z. Recounting the coming-out trials of 16-year-old Gabriel (Atli Oskar Fjalarson), as well as the coming-of-age tribulations of his peers, the narrative feels overstuffed with incident, but teens should relate to its fraught, alcohol-fueled ambience, where friends mean everything and adults are irksome meddlers. After a strong domestic run, this well-cast, convincingly performed pic is claiming kudos at youth fests. Gay fests should also take note.”
