Review of Mihkel

Mihkel (2018)
7/10
Some events are just not too fit for a longer film
2 September 2020
The events depicted are sad and bad, but not really uncommon, and undoubtedly increased during the last decade. The approach is versatile, with flashbacks paving the way for understanding the motives to do so, but Estonia-Iceland in this kind of intercommunication is a bit minor and without much action. True, the performances are good (including Tómas Lemarquis, who has obtained some international fame already before), but the pace is slow and even the beautiful nature of Iceland is seen sporadically. As for the script, the clause "based on true events" adds some value, but as mentioned - the storyline is just too trivial for a film around this topic only, not going beyond and showing some other aspects.
