About This Movie

New Age (2018) is a contemplative dive into the lives of two friends navigating a stark and often bleak existence. The film unfolds in the chilly embrace of northern light, creating this ethereal atmosphere that's both haunting and beautiful. The pacing can feel languid, mirroring the characters’ own introspective journeys. It showcases the everyday struggles of life, with moments of camaraderie and the heaviness of existence. Matti Harju's performance is raw, capturing the essence of disillusionment. It's not just the story but the way it’s told—those long takes and the subtlety in the practical effects really ground the film. There’s something about its unpolished realism that sticks with you, making it a unique exploration of friendship and despair.
