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.<\/p>\n<p>Ed Potton of The Times <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:described;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/culture\/film\/article\/cannes-film-festival-2026-critics-movies-reviews-vvhh73gr3\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">described<\/a> Stan\u2019s work as \u201ca quietly revelatory turn,\u201d adding that the actor is \u201calmost unrecognisable as the balding, bespectacled and contained Mihai.\u201d Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com focused more on the film\u2019s central moral conflict, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:calling;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/fjord-sebastian-stan-film-review-2026\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">calling<\/a> it \u201ca movie that challenges viewers\u201d to think about whether people can defend the rights of those they fundamentally disagree with.<\/p>\n<p>Not every critic was fully convinced. Raphael Abraham of the Financial Times <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:argued;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/7345d2e7-40f5-4502-93f0-13cec87a1dd2?syn-25a6b1a6=1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">argued<\/a> 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.
