Sorry, this movie sucks

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I liked the pacing of the movie as well as the characters. The main character is a man who is at a difficult point in his life, so I don't feel his character development is unrealistic.What led to -2 stars is definitely the end. Like seriously, what the... Why does his brother have to kill himself? Obviously he is in a bad place mentally, but why can't the movie give us a happy end? It's so unnecessary and random, especially when the relationship between the brothers is starting to get better. I get it, psychotherapy isn't dramatic and cool, but how about that and some meetings with the victim to talk things over? Why have this absolutely stupid suicide to up the drama or whatever instead of showing a way out of whatever mental problems he's going through, show them rent the land and rebuild it and them living there with their families? or did they run out of money to make it a proper end and that's why they cut the brother's story short? So yeah, that was very disappointing, but the rest of the movie is quite nice. The kid is a little brat, too, and his father also doesn't know when to stop, but that's what makes the characters realistic. Still wanted a better ending. I'm very conflicted, but I think it's worth a watch.

This film is like the French film "French Blood" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4168502/ The acting is very professional, straight forward and not over acted which happens in lots of films with violence. Both of these films shows what happens when there is too much of energy, anger and no thoughts how to live life as human until something happens that makes the changes. The film shows well the conflict that arises after one has had enough of all that idiotic ideology and how difficult it is to break the old ways, they keep haunting in the background all the time. Both films are extremely good drama and I would say these are a must to watch especially for all those who think they have all the answers but no idea what to do.

I find this movie very enjoyable. Character interactions, emotions, scenes, dialogues and so on. The only problem with it is that it doesn't belong in this world. There are no people like this. I've spent most my childhood surrounded by right wing skins (many of them still my best friends). Then I've spent nearly 10 years being an immigrant and surrounded by people of very mixed origins. Again I repeat - people are not like that. What this movie does is it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and prejudice on both sides in the name of universal love and leftie brainwash. Use with caution.The director is very talented but should rely more on his own life experience when telling stories rather than doing his liberal homework to get praise from his Starbucks friends. I think it would take him to another level.

This movie is so hard to watch, because it is so detached from reality even though it tries to portray itself as a serious movie. This review might have minor spoilers. It is the ultimate political correct movie and try to nationalistic conservatives as the ultimate losers and of course maturity makes you become a liberal.There a gang of "patriots" who are complete dumbnuts with s*it for brains who of course try to make up excuses to attack poor foreign men, who never could do any harm. The protagonist falls in love with a woman who has a black child. The black kid is a poor victim of racist attack by racist Finnish kids who bully him and makes his "new patriot father" seem like a racist which escalates to almost fatal consequences.The 'patriots' of course would never accept a half-black child and he could never show it to them and does his best to hide it from them. The black kid also gets into trouble because of standing up for himself against bullies in school and this leads into our protagonist also getting trouble with the teachers and other parents in school.The movie is indeed quite interesting, but it is the ultimate movie in brainwashing and therefore would not recommend it to younger audience who probably could not see the blatant political ideology it is forcing down your throat. It portrays Finns with patriotic views as completely dumb-nuts and of course most of our characters (i.e school mates and teachers) are of course also very racist and therefore against his son. The main teaching of this movie is to better become a liberal, since if you uphold the view that Europe are for Europeans you would probably be best of killing yourself!
