These chick-flicks and their seemingly endless amounts of point of views around identifiable relationship complications... What we see here is a Finnish attempt on the most popular way to make RomComs lately. How on earth did that go so well? Whether you enjoy the genre or not, you have to give props to the writer for digging deep into her theme and for the endless love she has for her characters. I especially think that the minor characters come across as surprisingly recognizable. But, okay, the Finns do that, perhaps better than anybody. You encounter this phenomenon on their TV, as well.
Armi Toivanen, portraying the main character role. What an aura she has that makes the camera absolutely love her up close. Based on this performance I wish to see her in one of those all time favs that you always want to return to and re-watch.
The story takes a look at the awkward "comes with the bargain"-sides in romantic relationships. Writer, director Johanna Vuoksenmaa hits the nail right on the head time after time with her clever angles and she never needs to cut corners by using a mean approach. One thing that many might have an issue with, but I find quite intriguing, is the choice to underwrite the main character role. Me agreeing with this explains my high score. A secondary plot line gets a lot of space, without quite matching the strengths of the main dish. Neeh.
