Review: Hildur

“Hildur, adapted from Satu Rämö’s hit detective novel, is a well-made entertainment package. (…)

The lead actress Elena Leeve plays the delicate and emphatically ordinary Hildur. (…)

Paavo Kinnunen is a lovely jerk, and his comedy, which almost stretches to the point of slapstick, doesn’t woo too much. (…)

The driving force behind the performance, which surfs from one murder to another, is the camaraderie of Hildur and Jakob. The friendship that develops between them is a pleasure to watch. The actors exude sincere and good-natured theatrical play, which includes Antti Mattila’s lava pile set design, Petteri Heiskanen’s lights and Toni Haaranen’s videos depicting dark water in its various forms.”
