Reviews for this film from our members:
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Katz’s team-up with Martha Stephens (she made 2012’s Pilgrim Song, which I have not seen), Land Ho!, is full of respectable filmmaking acumen but contains none of the quirk that makes a movie rise above mere time-passing. It’s a pleasant enough experience on the surface but its lack of identity leaves a void into which rushes, whether intentionally or not, some of the more regrettable aspects of its lead characters.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A wonderful and quirky film about two quite different seventy-somethings and their adventures during a trip to Iceland.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This intermittently funny, sometimes touching tale of two senior citizens who seize the day when they’re not getting on each others nerves is most consistent as an Icelandic travelogue.
- Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
- Excerpt: LAND HO! never gets over-sentimental nor does it indulge in the kind of slapstick humor one would see in a geezer comedy like GRUMPY OLD MEN. Instead, the exploration of Iceland’s solitary alien landscape serves as an apt metaphor for our inquest into the inner life of these forever young old-timers.

- Excerpt: A charming comical confection and en enticing Islandic travelogue…
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: In Land Ho!, two elderly gentlemen travel across Icelandic landscapes but fail to mold a corresponding story. They are merely on a documented trip with some amusing conversations.

- Excerpt: With plenty of laid-back charm and the easy pace of a couple of old guys with nothing particular to do and nowhere special to go, this geriatric buddy comedy falls somewhere between a slick home movie and an unpretentious indie road movie.
