      Jonathan Romney Screen International The film feels rather like a Kaurismäkian variant on Twin Peaks, with a soupçon of Fargo. May 19, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily More than anything, though, I love Myllylahti’s cavalier boldness. He’s seen a vivid, peculiar story and just gone for it. He’s one to watch. Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Lisa Giles-Keddie HeyUGuys The Woodcutter Story provides the viewer a cinematic experience to reflect on life’s ups and downs and what we hold dear through the sporadic absurdity, all the while bathing in Scandi scenic beauty. Rated: 4/5 Oct 27, 2022 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online The Woodcutter Story is visually unexceptional, despite a few beautiful snowy vistas. Virtually every shot, every composition, looks roughly the same, flattening entire scenes into the same metronomic rhythm. May 23, 2022 Full Review Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist If satisfaction in life can’t be willed into existence, and that we’re at the mercy of the whims of whatever greater powers are bartering for our mortal souls, then “The Woodcutter Story” might be the most terrifying movie of the year. Rated: C+ May 23, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Amusing and not as heavy handed as it could be considering what transpires, this double edged sword formulates the notion of hope both as a defense mechanism and the device which keeps us stuck in place on a hamster wheel. Rated: 3.5/5 May 19, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
