Markus M 04/22/2015 An atmospheric and wonderfully scored film that unfortunately has a few too many pointless monologues that stop the film dead in its tracks instead of moving it forward. 7-/10 See more 01/30/2008 Very Finnish but not angsty, good drama in a modest way. A great story of normal, real people told warmly. A pleasant surprise. See more Read all reviews
