...this being an Aki Kaurismäki movie means that it is a droll tale told with an economy of means, a minimum of dialogue and camera movement, an abundance of rockabilly music, and a bittersweet affirmation of life.
Read full review at The Austin Chronicle...'Kaurismäki’s' wit and humanism carve out a special if rarely heralded niche for his films. This one will linger longer than most.
Read full review at EmpireThis might just be the most drolly poetic response to what has been dubbed the ‘refugee crisis’ by journalists and political wags, and it comes as little surprise that Finland’s sardonic sage, Aki Kaurismäki, is the man behind the tiller.

Read full review at The Guardian...Kaurismäki’s wry comedy is a timely critique of an intolerant Europe, and a winking cheer to those who offer a handshake of solidarity to their new neighbours.

Read full review at The Telegraph...det är i linje med hans åsikt om att moralen står över allt – till och med hans eget konstnärskap.
Read full review at Dagens Nyheter...er en stikpille eller bedre en sylespids kritik af vores formørkede og frygtsomme samfund, der vender ryggen til fremmede elementer.

Read full review at Nöjesguiden...en ovanligt allvarsam Kaurismäkifilm. Här finns inte så mycket av den lakoniska humor som brukar prägla regissörens filmer.
Annars är det mesta sig likt. Inga klipp och ingen dialog i onödan.
Bäst: Den pricksäkra och högst aktuella samhällskritiken.
