When Equality Party MP Juulia (Alma P\u00f6ysti) discovers that her vicar husband Matias (Eero Milonoff) has been having an affair, she begins to seriously grapple with this quandary, and ends up suggesting to him and his paramour, Enni (Oona Airola) that they should keep seeing each other. This comes early on in the film\u2019s first half as an abrupt and overt impetus to drive Juulia towards the final puzzle piece to complete the quartet: Miska (Pietu Wikstr\u00f6m). But this is fine! Maybe we\u2019re in for some interesting politics in terms of how the decision to have multiple partners plays out in the married pairs\u2019 professions? Well, not exactly\u2026<\/p>\n<p>This is more an exploration of adults as fragile (and hence \u201clittle\u201d) beings, especially when adjusting to new circumstances, which is employed with cute, infantilising tricks: Enni stopping in her tracks and plopping down in the middle of a public path, legs akimbo; Juulia seeking consolation by climbing into Matias\u2019 lap the way a child would; Miska hiding under the covers to avoid a moment of confrontation. The messiness is more than welcome, and Vilhunen doesn\u2019t shy away from the ugly stuff. The film is underscored by endearing and comedic moments that keep it from falling flat, but it\u2019s ultimately challenging to see beyond the structurally rote contrivances on display.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Little White Lies is committed to championing great movies and the talented people who make them.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lwlies.com\/membership\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">By becoming a member you can support our independent journalism and receive exclusive essays, prints, weekly film recommendations and more.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex-media\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SIFF 2023 Trailer: Four Little Adults\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n4h5-ObkZUg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>\n        <strong>ANTICIPATION.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>\n        <em>Ready for more Alma P\u00f6ysti after a great performance in Fallen Leaves.<\/em><br \/>\n        <strong>4<\/strong>\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>ENJOYMENT.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>\n        <em>Baffled by Matias\u2019 lack of rizz.
