Seurapeli

It's a tale of old friends, the kind most of us have. There's too much complicated history and hidden bottled feelings. They only act a certain way among these friends and it's difficult to bring new people into the mix as they don't understand the weird rituals and ways of the group. Alcohol only fuels their behaviour and the tension builds.

This could happen at any Finnish summerhouse during a drunken weekend. The atmosphere feels familiar and at times uncomfortable as you recognize yourself and people you know from these characters. It's a good film tho and very true to how messy our lives can be. It's a reminder of how at some point you should just remove yourself from a crowd that "brings the worst out in people" and not look back. Some memory lanes are not worth the trouble and best kept in history.

I really liked this movie, its slow pace, natural looking people and film angles. I would recommend this to all those people, who think they don't have their live ready and figured out.

Good acting by the whole cast and this really seems like a typical finnish weekend at the summer cottage with old friends after not seeing each other long time. Adults who havent grown up, relationship drama, new partners, ex partners, huge life events all in the same mix with a bunch of booze.

Raw, Authentic, A hit!
