Dir. Juho Kuosmanen (Finland 2022, 107mins 15)

In a naturalistic but witty and engrossingly smart and emotional romance, two wildly mismatched travellers are forced to share a long train journey from Moscow to Murmansk. Beautifully acted and filmed.

The surprise of the year is an exquisite, lyrical and deeply moving tale of a neglected girl from a dysfunctional family in rural Ireland who is sent to live with foster parents. A real gem.
