Sebastian Stan’s latest movie is earning strong reviews after its Cannes premiere win. The drama has impressed critics, though it still falls short of his top Rotten Tomatoes scores. The actor takes on one of his most restrained roles yet in the new film, which dives into immigration, identity, and growing social tensions inside a small European town.
What critics are saying about Fjord in reviews
Critics have largely praised Sebastian Stan’s performance in Fjord, especially because of how different the role feels from his bigger Hollywood projects. Stan plays Mihai, a quiet and reserved man trying to build a life in a community where outsiders are never fully accepted. Many reviewers highlighted how much the actor disappears into the character.
Ed Potton of The Times described Stan’s work as “a quietly revelatory turn,” adding that the actor is “almost unrecognisable as the balding, bespectacled and contained Mihai.” Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com focused more on the film’s central moral conflict, calling it “a movie that challenges viewers” to think about whether people can defend the rights of those they fundamentally disagree with.
Not every critic was fully convinced. Raphael Abraham of the Financial Times argued that the movie sometimes pushes its social message too directly. Still, most reviews agreed that the film succeeds because it avoids turning its characters into simple heroes or villains. Alison Willmore of Vulture noted that the story asks “how much that matters” when someone can never fully fit into the culture around them.
Fjord gets a strong score on Rotten Tomatoes
The film currently holds an 89 percent Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, giving Stan another well-reviewed project in an already strong run of films. However, it is not the highest-rated movie of his career. Avengers: Endgame sits at 94 percent, while A Different Man has 93 percent. Marvel entries like Captain America: Civil War and The Winter Soldier both remain at 90 percent.
