Inkeri, 75, after hitting her husband on the head with a frying pan, flees with her two sisters Raili and Sylvi.

Inkeri has to make the biggest choice concerning the rest of her life, a choice between happiness and convention.

James Croot Stuff.co.nz Fans of supposedly-mature-adults-behaving-badly (or bawdily) comedies like Calendar Girls, Grumpy Old Men and The Bucket List should definitely check out this sometimes riotous Finnish tale of three disparate sisters. Rated: 4/5 Dec 1, 2022 Full Review Toni Vall Cinemanía (Spain) Perhaps the best thing [about the film] is the three actresses and also how the desire of one of them to finally understand her past is told. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Oct 22, 2021 Full Review José Martín El antepenúltimo mohicano Fun and enriching. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Greg C If you're a bit confused by the title, apparently the original Finnish is more obviously a play on Man of Steel, as in Superman. It's a hoot, a comedy that manages its biting commentary on the patriarchal society, and on sibling rivalries, without overwhelming the good humour. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
