Storyline

"Art was an important factor of my childhood, where I would spend time watching mama, through the threads. Today I am back in Iceland, watching her again - this time through the camera. We have not lived under the same roof since I was a teenager. I am 35, without children and a strong desire to make a film about her. Mum is not interested in being filmed. The film does not only deal with a mother - daughter relationship, but also a filmmaker and a subject with their own will." Salóme is Yrsa´s first documentary after finishing her master in creative documentary at Pompeu Fabra, iDEC, Barcelona.

RTLos Angeles TimesApr 4, 2018

The Salome film proves a chilling and watchable look at lust, power, reprisal and decadence that, along with Wilde Salome, validates [Al] Pacino's obsessive interest in Wilde's still-resonant play

RTThe Hollywood ReporterMar 30, 2018

Intriguing as a work of interpretive risk-taking but captivating for its title performance.

Dan Mecca

As a companion to the documentary, it is the fascinating result of what [Al] Pacino himself seems to consider a creative failure.

Budd Wilkins

Al Pacino's film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's Salomé benefits considerably from uniformly strong performances and some consummate technical craftsmanship.
