Reviews
"The great final shot hints at the light that never shines from the film's dusk."—Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazinehttp://www.slantmagazine.com/film/film_review.asp?ID=2774"There are no thrills to be found in Kaurismaki's concoction, but the drained desperation of its strange world delivers a strange and sublime smoke-ring to the current cinematic climate."—Chris Cabin, Filmcritic.comhttp://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/reviews/Lights-in-the-Dusk
