This informal drama about three buddies who meet in a karaoke bar in Helsinki on the Christmas Day consistently combines documentary style and improvisation. This film, which is a tribute to director John Cassavetes, is a convincing study of friendship and parenthood that brings a deep insight into male psychology. (Summer Film School)
