Thriller. Drama Veijo, a true animal lover, lives in a poor, suburban Finnish region and is a black-market pet euthaniser. He’s also an animal whisperer and prefers to personally deliver justice to careless owners who neglect their pets. His unconventional but meticulously organised life is disrupted when he comes across Petri, a garage mechanic and member of a neo-Nazi gang, and Lotta, a young nurse who understands his psychoses. Veijo will start to change before seeking revenge. [+]

	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"A talent to watch (...) The script’s more grotesque aspects integrate well enough into a portrait of everyday life"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Funny, bitter, and sometimes bleak, the picture draws much of its appeal from a deadpan performance by star Matti Onnismaa."	POS
United States	Elazar Fine The Playlist	"Teemu Nikki has successfully created a cinematic metaphor for contemporary world politics, one that is full of unexpected plot developments and a surprisingly thoughtful take on personal morality."	POS
United States	Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"[Nikki makes] the most of an extremely limited budget (...) The surrealists would have liked this film."	POS
Canada	Gayle MacDonald The Globe and Mail	"'Euthanizer' shocks from the outset, and nauseates by the conclusion (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
