21 Ways to Ruin a Marriage (2013)
“Through it, one can indulge in romantic dream images, which, however, are framed by a fresh and surprising comedy. The characters were identifiable, and the film also helped to see my own, already mundane partner with gentler eyes. We looked at this freshly two and years later again with our almost adult daughter. The latter viewing was just as gratifying as the first. ”
Female, 59
Bad Land (2005)
“I went to the cinema to watch and I remember when the final lyrics started, people were quietly sitting in their seats and no one got up to leave. It even felt physically bad to watch at times. After all, nowhere can anyone go around. Whenever you thought this was here, a bigger fist immediately came around the corner, hitting the air in the yard. ”
Male, 48
Concrete Night (2013)
“The film reaches the young boy’s insecurity and longing in a grueling way. How much may a father or big brother be needed and how can one be left alone. Sometimes the world is like concrete! ”
Male, 51
“Refugees, alcoholism, recovery, love, humor. I laughed and cried in turn, ”writes a female reader of Hesar about Aurora.
Aurora, (2019)
“At Aurora, everything is in order: a credible script, good Actors, natural direction and an honest approach. It lacks all the flat aesthetics, jesus styling, and lazy stereotyping. Best of all, the film manages to be both deeply tragic and funny. The most touching scene in the film is Aurora’s horrific red-glowing twist episode. It describes the state of physical and mental poisoning in a breathtakingly realistic way. ”
Female, 50
Eden (2020)
“I’m not particularly religious, but there’s a touch of the Holy Spirit in this film. It somehow describes youth more directly than any other Finnish film I have seen. I think the filmmakers are wondering how this became so damn good. I especially don’t even care what happens in this film or what themes are covered here or anything. These are just side effects. He just wants to dive into the wonderful world of the film and stay afloat. For summer and youth. As they are. ”
Male, 48
On the Road to Emmaus (2001)
“There are many other great films, but Emmaus’s Road still touches on with its characters, humor and lovely summer landscape. There were those guys in my childhood and youth in the village as in the village, but not anymore. I cry and laugh and feel good every time I watch a movie. ”
Female, 65
Many readers of Hesar have found themselves in The Girl, You Are a Star. “I was in the same life situation and the protagonist Nelli’s choice to try a singer’s career instead of a doctor was touched,” a woman in her thirties writes.
Girl, you are the star (2005)
The film took on a whole new value when I met my current boyfriend and watched it together. The story of the film and our love story are much the same: she is a music producer from Vantaa who has even worked in the same paint factory as the film Sune, and I am from a higher education family who has always dreamed of a career as a singer. We had just started making music together while we were watching the movie and it was a very moving experience for both of us. The film gets even cold shivers as well as joy at the same time. ”
Girl, 30
“A beautiful movie that wraps the viewer in her warm arms,” the 21-year-old writes about Tove.
Tove (2020)
“I was suffering from severe depression and I had just divorced. The film made me dream of happier times. ”
Female, 40
Helene (2020)
“I went to watch the movie three times in 2–3 weeks, and it took me equally deeply every time. I don’t know what captured my soul in it. Maybe it was a description, with its lights and shadows. Maybe it was silence. The film had not been filled with music, but had a lot of waiting silence. Every time I watched it, I noticed new things in the film. ”
Female, 65
Hay Hat and Quilt Slipper (2002)
“This is our family favorite. 3 girls remember each turn. Dough therapy. Spaghetti. A charming whole. ”
Female, 42
Christmas Story (2007)
“Our sons were just Santa Claus and Hannu-Pekka Björkman was the perfect, credible and present Santa Claus, not a department store clown. In addition, the story had those darker currents and human grief that deepened the central character and made Christmas time look like a human face. I was pretty moved – I was surprised myself – and when the family left the theater, I sent telepathic thanks to the whole group of authors. ”
Male, 56
“The film sparked strong emotions, with joy and hope at the forefront,” a female reader in her seventies writes about the film First Snow.
First Snow (2020)
“Beautifully depicts the core of human life. No matter how challenging the starting points and circumstances may be, the effort to find some kind of connection comes to the fore. The rest of the dance scene is simply touching. While the world is about to crash on, the young protagonist decides to dance to the end of the dance. The dance takes a surprising amount of time, but it really never seems to end. ”
Male, 42
Girls Girls Girls (2022)
“For once, a girl is not naive, stupid or sexy in a movie – it just is. I would have missed a movie like that in my teens. ”
Female, 23
