I'm not a big fan of Birro, who is behind the story. But I still wanted to give it a chance.
The film is incredibly slow. It mainly deals with the Sami people and their reindeer husbandry. The actors, apart from Martin Wallström, are relatively unknown and mostly consist of Samer.
The story is recognizable from what you have heared in the media about Samer. They take care of their reindeer and have it hard to live financially on it. Their beloved reindeer are being thief hunted.
Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a documentary about reindeer husbandry. The few moments of tension that do occur make up such a small part of the 2 hour film that it is negligible to the story. It also feels unrealistic in many ways. As an action film it doesn't work, as a thriller it doesn't work. However, if you want to see a drama about Sami people and reindeer husbandry, this is the film for you.
