TIE POHJOISEEN (FI’12): The best bits are the ones where you forget about the lacklustre script and just watch two actors interact.

3SIMOA (FI’12): Manchildren struggle with maturity in this slight comedy. Has one outrageously funny gag but doesn’t gel on the whole

Ted: Dome.fi
LAWLESS (US’12): The bootleggers are tough but fair, the out of town lawman less so. Some transcendant moments, like the washing of feet
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 7, 2012
AMOUR (FR’12): Unflinching, unromantic, antisensational, spectacularly acted, life is pain and then you die.

WEEKEND (UK’11): The simple pleasure of watching two actors who seem to understand each other.

BAIKONUR (DE’11): Well yes, Baikonur is a fascinating place, but unfortunately Baikonur isn’t a fascinating movie.

POULET AUX PRUNES (FR’11): A many-splendored melancholic juicy fruit (oh deat Iahve this sentence is spiralling out of control)

EVA (ES’11): Why do I get the feeling Spanish genre films quite often seem to run out of ideas about halfway through?

TOTAL RECALL (US’12): So it has come to this–Len Wiseman seems like a competent action director compared to the rest.

DREILEBEN 1 (DE’11): The story is less interesting than the way in which it’s told. There’s nothing wrong with that by me, YMMV.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 18, 2012
ALPS (GR’11): This particular brand of anaesthetised laconic absurdism has too many layers of representation for my taste.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 18, 2012
Re: Alps – Also, why the extremely shallow DOF in two-shots? Curious, but also somewhat irritating.

17 FILLES (FR’11): Teenage girls are foreign creatures on the edge of child/adulthood. The story could be weirder, tho’.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 19, 2012
MER ELLER MINDRE MANN (NO’12): Low-key character study/comedy of manners with a pitch perfect tone. Might be too muted for some.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 19, 2012
10 TIMER TIL PARADIS (DK’12): Kold’s extreme physique is spellbinding on screen; heartwarming story, 3rd act bogged down by plot
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 19, 2012
PARADIES: LIEBE (AT’12): Smug saturated planimetric misanthropy.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 19, 2012
THE HOLE (US’10): Possibly the first film I would’ve liked to have watched in 3d
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 19, 2012
DIE WAND (AT’12): Existential robinsonade in the Alps. Gorgeous locations, slightly overused V.O. Liked it a lot.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 20, 2012
BEAST (DK’11): The film could use some rough carving itself, like 95% of the running time.
#espoocine— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 20, 2012
MOONRISE KINGDOM (US’12): All is full of love.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 21, 2012
PARANORMAN (US’12): Exquisite design and some funny corporal gags. Otherwise a by the numbers story about being yourself.
— Olli Sulopuisto (@osulop) August 22, 2012
KOKURIKO-ZAKA KARA (JP’11): One can’t help but wonder how Hayao would’ve directed his own script. Now it’s a low-key teen drama w/no magic.
