The Scandinavians are diving into Sami themes again, and I'm here for it. It's refreshing to see a different perspective on the Scandinavian world, especially from the Arctic Circle, dealing with issues we barely know about. While it's not a cinematic masterpiece, it's a fascinating glimpse into Sami life with a detective twist. (22/04/2024)

Although I've never been to Lapland, those breathtaking shots of Nordic landscapes made it feel like I was there. Yet, while the visuals were captivating, the story failed to match up. Based on what I read on Netflix, I anticipated an intriguing narrative, but instead, I was met with a sluggishly-paced Nordic drama, and Lapps confronting injustice as aggressively as Mahatma Gandhi with an air of true Nordic melancholy. For someone like me, expecting a different cinematic experience, it was quite disappointing. / Lesson learned: Meddle with someone else's reindeer, and you might find yourself facing the consequences twenty years down the line.
