Jul 28, 2022

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

By Lena Wilson FULL REVIEW

Aug 12, 2022

While Girl Picture isn’t necessarily breaking any new ground, this sensitively rendered dramedy invites viewers into the world of three young Finnish women on the cusp of adulthood with an affection and mellow sense of humor that makes it a more than agreeable cinematic companion.

By Katie Rife FULL REVIEW

Sep 28, 2022

This is such a vivid, lovable triple-decker performance from Milonoff, Kauhanen and Leino.

By Peter Bradshaw FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Aug 11, 2022

Haapasalo blesses her trio with a pop soundtrack that crescendos at the peak of a kiss, and climactic crises that are a mite too readily resolved, adamantly gracing this awkward stage of girlhood with forgiveness — not hectoring lessons.

By Amy Nicholson FULL REVIEW

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.

By Shania Russell FULL REVIEW

Jul 28, 2022

The winning performances and Haapasalo’s careful attention to them help to compensate for the sometimes frustratingly fragmented nature of the storytelling.

By Amber Wilkinson FULL REVIEW

Little White Lies

Sep 28, 2022

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.
