[Magdalen] Icelandic (!?)

[Jay Weigel]

I think we ran into this the other night. If we hadn't come in in the
middle, I think I would have liked it. I don't mind subtitles at all. My
oldest is on the ASD spectrum and has auditory processing difficulties so
often uses closed captioning, and I became quite used to it. Same thing,
really.
