Sisu (2022)
Take it for what it is and it's brilliant!
This movie is not for everyone. If you expect an intelligent plot, realism, great acting or character development, you'll be disappointed. In that case don't bother. Half of the stuff the main character does is physically impossible. One needs to accept that.
If you expect a badass story about perseverance ie. Sisu and appreciate certain classic B movies, you might be positively surprised like I was. As a Finn who loves the wilderness of Lapland I found the imagery quite compelling as well.
A lot of reviews mention the Tarantinoesque vibe. It's definitely there. But I also picked up a scent of Kaurismäki. After all, the main character has very few lines. One being truly epic and something that resonates with the dry variety of Finnish sense of humor.
Lego Masters: Land & Sea (2021)
Unfair and disappointing challenge
The mashup challenge was totally random and put some of the teams in a really disadvantageous position. Tricks like this are the reason I hate most reality TV shows. Up until now Lego Masters felt like it wasn't one of those shows. This episode however made me think the show is not really about having a fair competition.
