Sweet, relatable, realistic but draggy
Loneliness is loneliness no matter where you are.... This movie is bit draggy, nothing really happens in it and the cinematography is as grey and draggy as the drama itself... but it is still kind of sweet and comforting telling the story of lonely people coming together in Helsinki.
The movie starts off showing everyday light racism in a very light way, conveying the looks and the comments most people meet when they do not look like the majority population. Very realistically and most probably something any one who has moved to a different country can relate to. The movie shows the process of trying to adapt and find a way to sell comfort food from ones own culture in a new setting. Sometimes you have to take a step back and adapt before you can move forward with your own. Sad but realistic. This movie also shows how lonely people come together and find comfort in each other breaking barriers and does a pretty okay jobb with breaking stereotypes etc.
I do love allot in this movie, just not the pace and the fact that it did manage to bore me in the short time it was playing... which is why the score is not higher than it is. but it does have some pretty good humour, relatable gems and is definitely worth watching just do not get your hopes of for getting thrilled or emotional and all will be fine.
