    10 points for Estonian movie

    The film was 2.45 hours long, but there was never a boring moment. From the first minutes on the film i was hooked and it lasted until the end. A story about life, death, family and justice. Would definetly recommend!

    Our truth and justice

    Epic movie of A. H. Tammsaare's epic novel published 1926.

    Mirror of the Estonian's soul - the history, lifestyle and point of view to everything we all Estonians come.

    I'm proud we had such a masterpiece in 2019.

    "What a man will do when he has lost his way in life?"

    Quintessential Estonian novel comes alive on the big screen!

    The quintessential Estonian novel(or at least the first part of series of novels) has finally been adapted to the big screen. And it's for the most part a fitting and epic adaptation, true to the source material as well as being entertaining and thought provoking on it's own right. A great story is brought to life by good(at times great) acting, outstanding cinematography and never before seen production design and make-up effects for an Estonian film. The story transcends nationality and language and is worth checking out by anyone interested in good cinema and especially good stories!

    God will watch this movie!

    Epic movie which took me to the emotional rollercoaster. As a son I wish my dad and mom could watch this movie. As a father I wish my kids will understand one day where our true beliefs comes. As a husband I will go now and hug my wife and never let her go!

    Tour de force

    I almost cannot believe that Estonians have completed such a masterpiece. Tanel Toom should receive an award for creating a movie which unites all Estonians, regardless of their age, beliefs, or social status.

    The movie is a life in itself, over which characters change, your perception of them changes, and by the end it is hard to believe that all this changed so naturally and believably. I doubt anyone stepped out of the cinema without thinking through their own beliefs and attitude in the face of adversity or disappointment.

    • Trivia
      In the scene where the pigs are in the rye, three topless men played the pigs. Maiken Schmidt, who played Krõõt, had no idea that pigs were replaced by men so it came a total surprise to her when "pigs" actually started coming when she called them.
    • Goofs
      When Andres finds out his daughter has been dating with the son of his neighbor Pearu, he rushes home by making the horse run as fast as possible. When he arrives home, one can observe that the horse is sweaty all since there is no steam coming off the horse. At the same time, you can see the breath of both Andres and the horse.
    • Quotes

      Andres: [praying the God, repeatedly] Change my son into a girl, and all the other sons you have wanted to give me, just let my Krõõt live!
