I wanted to like the quirky-thoughtful Little Siberia more than I did – it’s a classic case of unfocused writing derailing a good idea.

Little Siberia is a whimsical tale with a thoughtful, philosophical bent.

On paper, it presents itself as a crime thriller about a pastor guarding a meteorite in a small town in Finland, but in reality, it is a strange, existential fever dream wrapped in black comedy and snow.

[There's] an overwhelming amount of content that weaponizes belief (...) So, it was kind of refreshing to see a film about a pastor who has lost his way, for a multitude of reasons, and is learning to love his wife, his life, and the Almighty again.
