Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

From an article at the BBC titled "Is Nordic humour too dark for the rest of the world":Men and Chicken premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this year – as did Return of the Atom, a bleakly humorous Finnish documentary about life in a town that has received the first European nuclear reactor since Chernobyl. The problem, according to its directors, Mika Taanila and Jussi Eerola, was that they weren't sure if the public outside the Nordic countries would realise it was supposed to be funny.http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20151012-is-nordic-humour-too-dark- for-the-rest-of-the-world

Documents represents TVO OL3 story on high level, but does not dig into details. The document was published in 2015 but for some reason, it doesn't tell anything about years 2011-2015. Do not expect to see any hard science, statistics, fair debate or anything. This document is more art than science. Most of nuclear power critic is represented by former TVO engineer Arto Lauri. Arto Lauri is a well known conspiracy theorist in the scene. His theories exceeds barriers of today's science. A very careful listener can notice these theories in this document too. Document doesn't give anyone opportunity to respond Arto Lauri's claims.I expected that this document would: - analyze why OL3 budged and timetable failed so much - discuss economical impact of nuclear power in Eurajoki - contain creditable debate between pro and anti-nuclear peopleThis document failed miserably my expectations. This is not a (science) document. This is something else.
