criticism

The Rahvaleht newspaper of December 17, 1927 was disappointed with Kevade unelm in comparison with the Estonian film Noored kotkad , shot in the same year :

“While the film 'Kevade unelm', which was shown in Tallinn a week earlier, was disappointing because there was neither a basic idea, nor good acting or technically good recordings, the film 'Noored kotkad' rekindles belief in the future of the Estonian people Film industry. "
