I personally liked it a lot. It is a quasi-documentary movie, slow paced but gives a lot of interesting insights into the lives at the other end of the world. All worth it, if you are into this kind of drama with great images and score.

Indiewire’s review summarizes it pretty well:

‘The Postman’s White Nights’ is being widely celebrated as a quasi-documentary, marked by a droll sense of humor that illuminates life in a forgotten corner of the world. And it is that, no doubt, but for us it went much further than mere anthropological interest. If it presents an accurate picture of this reality, then it feels like it’s a reality that is unstable, so far cut off from the mainstream of life that it has begun to fray into the surreal and the magic at the edges.
