Truth and Justice

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!

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!

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!

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.

I rarely write reviews. Don't know how I found this gem. This movie is exceptional. I felt like I am just not watching movie but part of it. Felt so real. Nothing more to say. Watch it. Rare gem.
