About This Movie

XXL offers this intimate look at sibling relationships, set against the backdrop of Helsinki’s eclectic charm. It's a slow burn that really thrives on dialogue and atmosphere rather than action. The film meanders through various encounters, each character adding a layer of depth to Enzo and Magda's journey. There’s a rawness in their conversations about life and art that feels refreshingly honest. You can almost feel the chilly air of Helsinki as they navigate their past and present. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for reflection and emotional beats to land. There’s something distinctive about how the setting becomes a character in itself, complementing the sibling dynamics beautifully. It's not flashy, but the practical effects in some scenes really ground it all in a tangible reality.
