The Helsinki International Film Festival kicks off this week. Here are some of the films you shouldn't miss this year.
★★★★★ | Amanda Seyfried is stunning in Mona Fastvold's brilliant recreation of the past that is one of the best films of the year.
★★★ | Paul Dano and Jude Law shine in an uneven, but often fascinating historical satire that could do with a few more punches.
★★★ | Mads Mikkelsen and Sophie Sloan delight in this dark and twisted family film for all ages.
★★★★★ | Exquisitely crafted and sumptuous to behold, Frankenstein is a vivid masterpiece.
★★★★★ | An essential bit of gear for the traveling Switch fan, at a cost that makes it a no-brainer to purchase.
★★★★ | Bob Odenkirk stars in this terrifically paced and hugely entertaining action comedy that delivers thrills by the boatload.
★★ | A romantic climate change comedy without a tone or sense of fun, Peak Everything ends up being a dull exercise in end of the world anxiety.
★★★ | Leo Woodall carries an effectively built crime comedy that is just on the right side of charming to work.
★★★★ | Colin Hanks' celebration of the life of John Candy won't reveal anything new, but it's so endearing and lovingly crafted, it doesn't need to.
★★★★★ | With a fantastic cast and a smart script, Fuze is one of the best action thrillers in recent memory.
★★★★ | Dwayne Johnson shines in an uneven but often sublime portrait of imperfect people.
