Iina Kuustonen does what really gives a lift - gets herself in top notch physical shape for her fitness role. On her side Mikko Töyssy pulls points with his captivating emotional ability and refreshingly spontaneous delivery. A detail, rarely intriguing to follow, is how director Aleksi Delicouras keeps his main character's husband so passionately in the shades. The man apparently has brilliant ideas when it comes to story supportive images. The writing takes efficient use of know-how about diet and lifting techniques, but Pekko also pens what makes the movie drop the weights on the toes. The obvious disjointed commercial break feel in the story, origins from an overfeed of information about the gym staff's personal lives. Cut ten minutes of those brutal endeavors from the movie's first half and the smooth flow has the audience leaning in. I tested so it is a proven fact.
