It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This is a best Finnish movie what i have ever seen. I like Irwin's music and of course this movie. I think that Finnish people can get something more from this movie than e.g. US residents cos they don't know our culture that good than we know. And and I watched the film with english subtitles and there are few scenes where the subtitles don't say the things exatcly how they are, but otherwise subtitles are allright. I give this movie highscore points.
Martti Suosalo gets as close to Irwin Goodman as it's possible for another person. Only negative thing in the movie is that Irwin's last ten years are almost skipped. Great movie, when considered how difficult it is to put 50 yrs of human life into a 100 minute of video tape. Must see for every Finnish person!
Movie was quite a realistic description from Antti Yrjö Hammarbergs life. If you were Irwin fan, you should watch this! There is a lot of great sings on movie, and some rare songs too. Martti Suosalo looks like Irwin and he can act all Irwins gestures well. I recommend this movie for all.
This movie has great music, great acting and great directing. But, there are few scenes in the movie which are maybe little indistinct (at least for me). But overall very entertaining film. I'd give it a 8.
