Positives
Negatives
TL;DR
Enjoyable movie that offers nothing new to the genre, and which does or says nothing that has not been done in superior movies.
- lead actress does a great job, though at times one note.
- cinematography
- great cast, björkman is always a pleasure.
Negatives
- really predictable. Follows the basic structure of every romantic comedy ever.
- the jokes for the most part dont land
- this movie has a really big case of "Finnish movie syndrome". Meaning this movie doesnt really have any real subtance expect to pander towards people from Finland . It only has to offer a generic movie plot with timely themes (like refugee problem) and finnish cultural elements like saunas and heavy use of alcohol.
- there was this one great character completely wasted. He was a sceptical person that the film makers could have taken in a different and intereresting direction, but they chose to put him in the finnish angle trap, where the character only became a catalyst of finnish culture.
