Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit

The film was 2.45 hours long, but there was never a boring moment. From the first minutes on the film i was hooked and it lasted until the end. A story about life, death, family and justice. Would definetly recommend!

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.

"What a man will do when he has lost his way in life?"

The movie is a long very emotional rollercoaster, but it is made so well, you don't want to stop it. It's based on a book which elements the movie brings up very well. It's a long movie but definitely never boring!

I almost cannot believe that Estonians have completed such a masterpiece. Tanel Toom should receive an award for creating a movie which unites all Estonians, regardless of their age, beliefs, or social status.

The movie is a life in itself, over which characters change, your perception of them changes, and by the end it is hard to believe that all this changed so naturally and believably. I doubt anyone stepped out of the cinema without thinking through their own beliefs and attitude in the face of adversity or disappointment.

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!
