Our take

Among the Kaurismäki siblings, Mika may not be the most well-known, but he’s still forged a distinct and idiosyncratic path, as this dark comedy proves. A wonderfully existential bitterness runs alongside his acerbic sense of humor, while tackling the ennui of middle age, despair, and karaoke.
