Reviews:
• With her first feature, selected as the Estonian Oscar submission, Liina Trishkina-Vanhatalo reveals some very promising talent in her exploration of fatherhood.
• A very accomplished film thanks to a very well-constructed screenplay, Take It or Leave It is a touching film about the difficulties and awakening of fatherly love as a reflection on the feminine condition.
• Estonia's foreign-language Oscar submission, 'Take It or Leave It,' looks at a single father's struggles and is the fiction debut from documentary filmmaker Liina Trishkina-Vanhatalo.
• Inspired by a true story, Take It or Leave It is less of a classically structured movie narrative than Felt’s earlier productions and also a little rougher around the edges.
Trivia:
• Official submission of Estonia for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 91st Academy Awards in 2019 but it was not nominated.
