Even when this film is a bit too neat, it’s still totally irresistible. Read full review

A joyous, resonant snapshot of growing into one’s own, and challenging even your own expectations of who you thought you could be. Read full review

There are moments – Mimmi biting back her emotions as Emma dances for her alone at night – that tingle with discovery and promise. Read full review

Shania Russell

Jul 28, 2022

The otherwise low-stakes drama is so invested in their emotional state that the lows are bottomless, while the highs have no ceiling. Haapasalo plucks this tiny three-week period from the ether and every filmmaking trick in her quiver allows us to relish in it. Read full review

Girl Picture excels at showing how teenage life can be a sensory experience that’s exhilaratingly joyful and unbearably painful, sometimes simultaneously. Read full review

Haapasalo uses warmth, respect and empathy as her modus operandi, allowing her trio to wade through the liminal cusp of adulthood – no longer teenagers, yet not quite young adults – as they search for meaning through friendships, fleeting situationships, and budding romantic connections.

This film really made my day... or month. Probably the best Nordic film I've seen, thanks to the quirky dialogue and raw acting performances. Really tight editing, which I tend to appreciate. Hard not to love the portrayal of Mimmi and Emma falling in love.
