Beautifully shot and finely acted movie.
By Luke Y. Thompson FULL REVIEW
70
Thoughtful and mostly very watchable picture, with its emphasis on how war dehumanizes the individual soldier.
FULL REVIEW
50
Director Olli Saarela, who co-wrote the script with Antti Tuuri, offers up a trembling romanticism that gradually hardens -- like Eero's consciousness -- with exposure to the horrors of war.
