If you are an Estonian, the novel "Tõde ja õigus" has been with you in one way or another since you're a child. It's compulsory reading at school and most Estonians have the whole series at home (5 novels in total). Countless expressions, tropes and jokes originate from it. So needless to say, this movie provokes a whole range of emotions for a native and I dare say it's been extremely well received by critics and moviegoers alike.

Now, if you're not Estonian, fret not. This movie tells a universal type of story, the kind that exists in every culture and language - a story of labor and hardship, love and loss. Despite its long runtime and slow-burn type of approach, it doesn't feel long - the cast and acting are superb, the script is very well paced and written and the picturesque scenes are bound to suck you in.

"Truth and Justice" is a charming and important movie. Highly recommended watching for any true film lover.

An excellent film that captures masterfully human dilemmas, insecurity and how love can develop even in very difficult conditions

Epic movie of A. H. Tammsaare's epic novel published 1926.

Mirror of the Estonian's soul - the history, lifestyle and point of view to everything we all Estonians come.

I'm proud we had such a masterpiece in 2019.
