The Match Factory Girl Review

Absolute masterpiece. Perfect film. Nearly silent. A raw, collapsed little bundle. Kati Outinen has the biggest, wettest, saddest eyes ever committed to film.
Kaurismäki's previous two movies in the trilogy are about unsentimental people falling into surprising, almost instantaneous bonds. This movie is about a sentimental person whose loneliness is so total it is obliterating. The final sequence of this movie is completely perfect. It is shocking and shockingly economical. Kaurismäki does so, so, so very much with almost nothing.
I am grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you and telling you to watch this.
