Review: Ateljee

“.. Jari, who plays the owner of the sewing shop, gets the furthest in his role work
Pehkonen, whose exaggeration sometimes breaks out of the frame, and Ursula
Salo, whose cod Mimi is a skilful character image.
   Kristiina Elstelä, Tiia Louste and Vappu Nalbantoglu are
in the roles of working-class women, charmingly self-confident French women…
   Jonna Järnefelt plays the story in an impressively understated way
the central character, a Jewish woman who lost her husband in a concentration camp.
   Leena Uotila supports the sewing shop’s hostess with her strong presence
that will become a central role.
… Grumberg’s Studio is a warm-hearted depiction of dumbing pain and
of unshakable hope.”
