markus m 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 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Finnish but not angsty, good drama in a modest way. A great story of normal, real people told warmly. A pleasant surprise. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
