Good Hands

About This Movie

Good Hands is a quirky little gem from 2001 that brings together Estonian and Latvian flavors in a comic drama. The film follows Margita, a light-fingered protagonist whose knack for thievery spirals into a series of misadventures. The pacing is uneven but charmingly so, capturing the chaotic energy of her life. There's a certain warmth in the absurdity of her thefts, from small items to a Jeep, reflecting a deeper commentary on desperation and connection. The performances have a naturalistic feel, grounding the humor in relatable human experiences. It’s got this distinct Baltic charm that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique. Definitely one to appreciate for its cultural blend and offbeat storytelling.
