In the Media
“Päivi Kettunen’s eye-popping production design bursts with humor and unease”
— Variety
“Production designer Päivi Kettunen’s interiors are all soothing pastels and rose-strewn wallpapers, fully coordinated by costumer Ulrika Sjölin with the family’s outfits. But there’s something vaguely sickly about this carefully manicured environment, something a little off.”
“Päivi Kettunen’s vibrant, pastel production design establishes the fairy tale tone straightaway, one that makes it abundantly clear that suburban perfection is nothing more than fantasy.”
“Päivi Kettunen’s exquisite production design is at delicious odds with the story’s dark themes.”
