As light on its feet as a featherweight champ, Juho Kuosmanen’s debut is a stunner, a wry and funny yet deeply humane black-and-white biopic that looks at the heroic status—attained at a price—accorded boxer (and baker) Olli Mäki in 1962 when he was set to fight American champ Davey Moore on home soil. “Olli Mäki’s warm, crinkled humanity, cockeyed humour and gorgeous, utterly immersive evocation of a less-distant-than-it-looks past exert a surprisingly universal arthouse pull… Remarkable…”—Variety
