| Eye for FilmAnton BitelKati Outinen proves herself the divine muse of minimalism, conveying more emotion with her stony facial expressions than a whole marquee's worth of shrill starlets could manage. |
| User ReviewPasi TBest film i've seen this year. watched it 3 times in 2 days. if not that i need to return it, i'll watch it over and over again! now waiting for single DVD to be released. |
| User ReviewPaulo Henrique FSigelo, símbólico, solitário .... um filme sublime ... de poucas palavras e muito conteúdo. |
| User ReviewFlorence .A must see. A Cinema lesson... capital "C". |
| User ReviewRoman LVery depressive movie about a girl with a dead end life. After watching it I want to go to the kitchen, get a bottle of vodka and drink it all straight... If someone thinks their life sucks, they should watch this one to realize how it would be when life would REALLY suck. |
| User ReviewOssi TJoo, täyttä Kaurismäki-laatua. Eleetöntä dialogia, tahallista tahatonta komiikkaa ja loistava juonta. Emmä osaa oikein erotella näitä, kun ovat kaikki niin hyviä. Yksinkertasesti tiukka. |
| User ReviewDamián FCruda, real, es realmente el toque de Aki Kaurismaki. En este caso por primera vez la venganza toma terreno. |
| User ReviewBoras K"I want a bottle of rat poison" "Small or large please?" A stunning albeit short film... It focuses on showing power through silence rather than noise... the characters let their desperation sink into the movie and the tension pass through their faces just by staring at the viewer which is spooky and stimulating at the same time... Overall this is a movie that's rare and needs it time but that it grows into you... |
| User ReviewJared BKaurismaki's perfection of the 90's.Outinen is a goddess,convincing me that acting is silence,a soundproof collision merged into shattering pieces.Those pieces glued in the trembling-vengeful heart of Iris.Aye,and hard laboring. |
| User ReviewGary KExcellent cinematography, needing few words to convey a rich storyline. If only everything was short and sweet... |
