Le temps d'un été

Nice little Finnish movie. Would have been even better with a more polished production and some (mainly the mothers) not so over the top characters.

The story might seem familiar on the surface, but it is astonishingly well executed--with a special flavor, a unique sensibility. Highly recommended.

I won't violate the rules with spoilers here but please read bosenfrai's review. He does an excellent job of reviewing this. Oddly, this was very well acted in spite of some characters having almost split personalities and the scenery was great. It did feel like a real movie and not a low budget affair with stilted acting.

This coming of age story has a distinctly Nordic kink, with a quirky sense of humour and an unabashed celebration of the carefree and the individualistic. Sporting a beautiful and well balanced cast, Screwed doesn't shy away from all sides of characters' personalities, nor the lumpy parts of them dealing with the challenges in their lives. It does however handle their travails with warmth and sensitivity, and allows the cast's performances to shine and leave us with little choice but to fall in love with this motley crew, warts and all. Snuggle up with this summer romance for a dose of feel-good, sans saccharin, lumpy bits not removed.

I hate movies when you have to follow a story but not with a real ending... Or at least I didnt get the point where it was going... I need my closure :D.
