Levottomat 3 - kun mikään ei riitä

Right, first I have to say that I have never before commented a movie because I haven't felt that I need to. This movie made an exception. I kind of liked the original Levottomat, as I could identify myself with the main character and I also thought the story and casting were quite good. This of course doesn't mean the sequels are equally good, not at all. Usually the sequels simply are cheap imitations and fail miserably.

Levottomat 3 proves my case only partially. The story behind all the glitter, bad directing and bad acting, feels all right at the first glance. Although, I would think the idea of female sex addict isn't yet approved by the great public (not even by all females). Whatever the case, the story is semi decent.

The same can't be said about casting, choice of actors and directing. I wouldn't like to be disrespectful against miss Grönlund or miss Virtanen, but one of them or both together ruined this movie. The "sex doctor/psychologist" performs equally bad and is extremely unbelievable. Show me a psychologist who would judge someone after just few words said in a emotional storm (or as in the case of this movie, a slightly darker cloud, not a storm)? The actors equal to products of human product replacement. Simply horrible and unbelievable.

As I said in the beginning, the story is quite all right. The only flaw is that the movie is simply unbelievable. I entertain myself with the idea of this being directed and acted by someone else. I smiled slightly for the thought of Kati Outinen being "Jonna" and Sakari Kuosmanen being "Niklas". I would definitely buy the whole thing bit easier. I wish it was set in a bit less glamorous atmosphere in the first place. Come on, an architect and a big ad guru? Nobody believes that. How about clerk and accountant? Car repairman and housewife? Waitress and construction worker? Anyway, one of the worst ones I have seen: 4/10

I disagree with the previous reviewer's comments on the script. The film is well written; the dialogue simple, real and without ostentatiousness. It's a personal drama and the script reflects that. It's not the kind of film to throw in twists for the sake of plot interest. It's an exploration of one woman's descent into her addiction: slowly, gradually, and with full knowledge of where she's headed, we watch her life disintegrate. That's what happens with addiction. The low-key nature of this film is what makes it so good. The direction is stylish yet simple, and complements the script very well. How much worse to over-dramatise what is already highly dramatic subject matter?

I disagree with the previous reviewer about the ads.. I think the product placement in this movie is done with a good taste and it's not too obvious compared to many other movies.

Anyway, the movie itself could have been so much better with a better script. The movie is well-directed, actors are good and good-looking, atmosphere is fitting, and basically all the elements for a good film are there - BUT the script is totally unoriginal, predictable and boring. The screenwriter should have included some surprising twists to the plot. As it is, it resembles more a propaganda film for conservative moralists than an entertaining, fictional movie.

First of all I liked the first Levottomat because the main character is a bit like me, a cynical person, and overall the acting and the plot was okay. Minä ja Morrison(Levottomat 2) didn't annoy me but it didn't have any affect on me but this movie had: it just plain simply is the worst film I have ever seen.

The characters don't have any depth and the acting is just so bad. I've seen most of the actors in other films and they didn't perform bad then. Was the director(Minna Virtanen) just so bad that she didn't have any control of the actors? I think so.

1/10

Good start to mid , but it gets stupid and really bad in the end. and i think only END made the movie worse. because its not satisfying . because instead of taking this issue to morality / reality / Logical , it turned into feminism. like woman suffer from desire , she fulfilled her desire in forbidden way , she is a victim , she regret it and she is the winner in the end. so that makes the movie worse.

if there is a logical ending then maybe people would like it. because "Adultery / cheating always ends bad" it destroys any relationship , no matter whats the excuse or reasons. it never repair the trust.

----------spoilers----------------

the worst part in the end was, when she got kicked from house by husband, instead of regret or remorse , she goes for another one night stand, thats a really stupid idea here.

and another idea or flaw in movie. when wife said to husband in hospital" oh yeah i banged many men and every night But i still love and i always have been" wtf is that mean?

that dumb husband should dumb the trash and move on with kids. that would be better ending.
