The movie raises good feelings. It treats the children and their world with kindness. The Christian message is not pushed - one can interpret prayers as actually working, or as the internal world of the children. The world of the children is not black and white, but challenges and makes kind jokes at gender and Christian stereotypes.
The film is, however, too short and leaves avenues unexplored. For example, there is definitely a budding romance between Minni and Ruttu (who bravely pushes Minni away from the robber's car), but it does not lead to anything (a kiss would have been appropriate). Perhaps the producers ran out of money?
