We follow a woman who desperately seeks herself a date. That setup screams romantic comedy, but here's no intention to give anybody anything romantic here - the opposite. The main character is an utter mess and we're made kiss the frog - up close admire how ugly this person is. It's unnecessarily hard to see that this was on purpose, but once realized, I could so to speak detect things to appreciate. Such as, a masterfully written dialogue and a well constructed main character. A challenging movie. Actors see them as a wonderful gift to be part of, for sure.

Ok, it's not a masterpiece, but what I liked about it, it was not predictable. Sure it overshoots quite dramatically in a few places, but you can see they didn't even try to be serious there. The plot kind of hangs together still. While having laughs on the unexpected, also enjoyed unusually wide cast of familiar faces that just kept popping into the last minutes. Also Outi's role work, which could so easily slip into embarrassing, but not, with so fine margin, it was almost art. Refreshing oddball, while stearing at predictable streaming pieces.
