I found this film quite dull, the characters rather lifeless and stiff. And, it seemed that the Director was coaching ALL his actors and extras to be as somber and unemotional as they could muster. I stayed with it to the end in that the film was not without some charm. Once again, to my regret I got enthused to see this film by a reviewer who praised this as some kind of great rom-com, but the romance was dull and the comedy lacking. Mostly, there was nothing much that connected me or made me care about the principal characters. I suppose my biggest association was what it's like to be depressed and to live in a gray and dull environment. No doubt that's the way working class people often live, with work that is uninteresting and dull. I was in Helsinki once and it's an attractive and vibrant city. This is not 'that' city.
