Open up to me - Kerron sinulle kaiken (Simo Halinen, 2013)
In the end the best thing this movie has is its main acting. Leea Klemola makes a brilliant work and makes her character look immediate and understandable in any gesture or reaction. The story overall is satisfying and I think its point of view is interesting enough in its depiction of a minority group. But to a point this label of "social cinema" damages it because I feel that some of the conflict is brought there in a contrived way, namely the whole police investigation thing which seems underdeveloped and to a point unnecessary, just like an additional situation to reinforce the drama of the character. On the other hand, the script is kind of flawed and irregular; this happens mainly because some events seem to happen too fastly. How the main love relationship develops is my biggest issue in that sense.
