Harmonie zwischen den Schauspielern und dem Macher, dezente Ironie und Absurdität bestimmen letztendlich maßgeblich den positiven Eindruck. Somit könne wir nicht sagen, dass der Streifen Eltern qualitativ seine Inspirationsquellen erreicht - Godard, Bergman oder Leigh. Wir vermerken an den Eltern immer noch eine gewisse Fixierung auf die Oberfläche der Geschichte, aber jedoch im Vergleich zum Film Kinder können wir hier mit heranwachsender Freude beobachten, wie Ragnar Bragason das Schema verlässt und in die nichtlineare Innenwelt seiner Helden eintaucht. Er bewegt sich somit vom filmischen "Geschichtenerzählen" zur eigentlichen Essenz des sozialen Dramas.
