Loosely inspired by true events, the film stars Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan as conservative couple Lisbet and Mihai Gheorghiu, whose parenting techniques come under scrutiny after they and their five children move to Lisbet's remote Norwegian hometown.
Speaking exclusively to Radio Times at this year's London Film Festival, Reinsve and Stan discussed their own responses to the divided reaction to the award-winning film.
"I think that the really big emotions, that there has been some anger and a lot of people have struggled with some aspect of it, and the extent they have, has been surprising," explained Reinsve. "But it's also really exciting that it sparks so much debate, and people are disagreeing so much, and it is dividing people."

Sandra Hüller reveals process of bringing new acclaimed true story drama film to lifeI Love Boosters stars detail chaotic filming sequence: "It was the most insane day"Creating a film that has been met with such discourse is nothing new for Romanian director Mungiu. Previous cinematic offerings of his include the acclaimed 2007 drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, which, similarly to Fjord, both won the Palme d'Or and became the subject of some controversy – this time surrounding censorship and the abortion debate.
Speaking to this, Stan added: "Cinema might be one of the last places that affords you the luxury and the privacy to think for yourself, you know, and not think the way you're being told to think.
"So, I think we need to keep, you know, encouraging and supporting people. 'Cause you can go there, and you can have your own thoughts, and you don't need to, you know, share it – or maybe you do share it. But either way, it's there for you to formulate your own opinion, and that's important."
As well as its leading duo, Fjord also stars the likes of Lisa Carlehed, Markus Tønseth and Henrikke Lund-Olsen as Mia, Mats and Noora Halberg (the Gheorghiu's neighbours), respectively, as well as Vanessa Ceban and Jonathan Ciprian Breazu as Elia and Emmanuel Gheorghiu, the two eldest of Lisbet and Mihail's children.
