New York Times

This challenging and mesmerizing documentary captures horror and joy with the same gorgeous dispassion.

Time Out

The Aatsinki siblings never rise past a kind of rotely anonymous masculinity, and overall the film tends to lull rather than engage the senses.

Rated: 3/5

The Skinny

Audiences will not fail to notice that Oreck has consciously and effectively sought to re-frame her long term fascination with American westerns and cowboys as a Nordic western of the Finnish order.

Rated: 4/5
