Our take

Romance, friendship, and revolution are at the heart of this knockout debut, a punk rock ode to young love that feels at once lively and refreshing. One of the most charming Finnish films in recent memory, with newcomers Inka Haapamäki and Rosa Honkonen deliver two rapturous lead performances.
