Cherry Tobacco

A coming of age (offbeat) comedy drama, more sweet and far less creepy than it may seems, after reading the synopsis. Biggest quality here is acting, Nolvak/Raudsep and the other actors were very good. It doesn't start strong but minute by minute, it's getting better. Pace was good, it was somewhat interesting and i would say even realistic, i mean, i was totally convinced and empathized with the characters. It's not a glamorous big budget Holywood production but it's not artsy/pretentious either, these characters don't look like caricatures but real people. CHERRY TOBACCO doesn't spoonfed the viewer but it doesn't need either to have a 180 iq in order to understand what is going on, there is no ambiguity, it's a simple story but interesting enough to make you invested.

It's not a MUST WATCH but i am glad i watched it. It's the first Esthonian movie i watch, definitely i could watch more of them from now on.
