Initial Review

Watched 2 October 2026, 5 stars

A stunning, folkloric fairytale of a film from Estonia that is equal parts heart-filling and heart-breaking. There's a fair amount of humor sprinkled throughout this sad tale of loves unrequited and lost, and who doesn't love a witch and a werewolf, plagues and the devil, ghosts and anthropomorphic farm tools?

I loved this movie and can't wait to watch it again, and soon.
