Featured review
NOT for American moviegoers that want a brain dead session to forget immediately!
This movie has a lot more depth than most Santa movies from the big US of A. This becomes a major commercial problem for the movie since many people like to see shallow movies that are "heart warming" even though it smells fake long way, and prefer to place their dollars in such movies instead. This is not the issue with Joulutarina. The movie has dark sides, let's face it all tales have dark sides, the matter is if you present them or not. This is a REAL movie. Heartwarming, beautiful scenery and good acting.
If you want to see the real thing - go watch this movie.
By the way, the kids (8 and 12) absolutely ADORED it. I've lost count on how many times they have seen this already.
SEE IT!
