Positives

  • 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.


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.
