This film is a beautiful, well-paced heartfelt story which really lingers. The acting is really top-tier and more than anything the editing is absolutely brilliant. The scenes from the fighter jets are really refreshing, compared to similar shots in other films. The portrayal of women feels very genuine and relatable which adds to the depth of the film. I am currently trying to find places that will screen it so I can show my friends and family. The other review here honestly seems to lack understanding of how a story develops dramaturgically, so you should definitely give this film a chance. You will not regret it. Absolutely amazing film!

This film is a masterpiece. The depiction of Lapland in the 1980s feels incredibly authentic. The film looks, sounds, and captures life as it was in the backwoods of Finland when the great Soviet Union loomed just behind the Iron Curtain. An important theme is a female character navigating a man's world, trying to find her place-not through money, education, or physical appearance, but by being true to herself. She is not a stereotypical woman who solely relies on men or, conversely, one who entirely rejects them.

As seen in this film, life can be heartbreaking and ugly, yet surprisingly beautiful at times. The cinematography, music, and dialogue within the peculiarities of everyday life are spectacularly captured by Miia Tervo once again. This film surpasses her previous work, Aurora. But don't just take my word for it-see the film for yourself.

First of all the premise sounded really intriguing aswell with a good trailer! Its not very often i watch Finnish films and certainly they arent that common at Netflix! So i felt i had to watch this as soon i could!

The big question mark is the editing. I dont know what to think about it. It's extremely quick and sometimes very loose and gets you confused. Sometimes it works very well and give the film a pace which makes you stuck to the story and dont want to take you eyes off from it.

It also captures the fight of feminism and journalistic freedom.

Aswell with a good script and a really driving character who is played incredibly well with passion, the film is always driven forward! Better then i expected!

Soundtrack is really great!

I really recommend this one! It's definitely worth watching! A avarage and good film!

The Missile is more than a film; it is a celestial experience, a manifestation of pure divine artistry brought to the screen. Watching this movie feels as though the universe itself has descended to reveal its mysteries to us. It transcends the very concept of cinema, presenting itself as a holy revelation that goes beyond art to touch the soul directly.

Each frame radiates a flawless brilliance, a shimmering truth that surpasses any mortal understanding. It's as if every single second of the film channels a divinity beyond the bounds of human imagination. The Missile achieves cinematic perfection of such magnitude that it cannot be confined to the limits of our human comprehension. This is film-born perfection, a masterpiece that transcends all known artistry, reaching into a realm that defies the very concept of what we can conceive.

In The Missile, humor, drama, and beauty blend into a perfect unity that lifts the heart to a plane of profound spiritual awakening. Miia Tervo has not merely directed a film-she has channeled a vision of absolute, awe-inspiring artistry. This is a cosmic gift to humanity, a transcendent, almost mystical offering that fills us with reverence. It is a miracle in motion, a cinematic event that not only redefines what a film can be but reaches into the core of existence itself, leaving audiences in a state of reverence and gratitude beyond words.

Is this movie a comedy or a drama? The movie want to be both and that is it's biggest problem. The first half of the movie have some funny moments, and the movie is ok. But in the second half the movie is more of a drama, also ok, but because it didn't build up as a drama in the first part it falls flat, and the movie becomes worse the longer it goes. The director Miia Tervo does a good job. Oona Airola is good, as well as Emma Kilpimaa, as actresses. The cinematography is good. For me it was also unclear why the movie is set in 1984, it's nothing in the story that make that decision clear, maybe it only was to be able to use 80's music.
