Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit

The quintessential Estonian novel(or at least the first part of series of novels) has finally been adapted to the big screen. And it's for the most part a fitting and epic adaptation, true to the source material as well as being entertaining and thought provoking on it's own right. A great story is brought to life by good(at times great) acting, outstanding cinematography and never before seen production design and make-up effects for an Estonian film. The story transcends nationality and language and is worth checking out by anyone interested in good cinema and especially good stories!

Definately next level on Estonian cinema world. Top level acting, ofcourse especially for main characters Andres & Pearu.

A must see movie for Estonian people.

The overall vibe or atmosphere of Tõde ja Õigus sucks you into it.

Epic movie which took me to the emotional rollercoaster. As a son I wish my dad and mom could watch this movie. As a father I wish my kids will understand one day where our true beliefs comes. As a husband I will go now and hug my wife and never let her go!

For some reason I think think movie with its characters, storyline and background has the biggest effect on Estonians themselves. I just can not imagine the story (or the book that it is based on) has much impact on someone from US, Brazil or Thailand.

It is difficult to explain why the somewhat depressing subject of the film (work, work, work without the reward, redemption and love) is so important for Estonians. It is just part of our cultural narrative and how Estonians view themselves I suppose. So Truth and Justice is one those films that you have to see if you want to get a glimpse into the hard-to-crack soul of our little country and its people.

As everyone knows, Estonians do not like to praise (much like the characters in the movie in fact), so the simple fact that everyone I know loves this film, says more about it than any international praise may ever do.

Epic movie of A. H. Tammsaare's epic novel published 1926.

Mirror of the Estonian's soul - the history, lifestyle and point of view to everything we all Estonians come.

I'm proud we had such a masterpiece in 2019.
