This movie is very sweet, pure and nostalgic at times. It ended so quickly, I wanted more. Very realistic feel to this Russian coming-of-age film. Reminds me a lot of Boyhood. Things work out a little too well at each step here, but that's not to say it's without drama.

The soundtrack is a lot of fun-gives it a similarity to Brat (which the film directly references). Great job representing the generational gap between mother and son and the complexities of communication. Her birds and the bees talk while he's zoning out with music blaring on his earphones is very nicely done.

I had nothing to do on a cold Friday night and was browsing the channels on the local cable tv, when accidentally found this film,and I couldn't move my finger anymore to continue browsing channels. The story grabbed me so much, I couldn't move for 2 hours!

Very well done everything - story line, actors play, camera work, music! Surely one of the best Russian films I've ever seen. I speak Russian and I know the culture and the reality in Russia now and then, and maybe that made it even more enjoyable to watch. It presented everything very well, it was concentrated on emotions not on materialism, which made me give it a high 9/10.

Hats down to those young actors which made it so thrilling! They acted like they've been doing this for 20 years!! Especially that boy Lyosha (Gleb Kalyuzhnyy) - he nailed it from start to finish!

Go and watch it no matter if you are a teen or a matured one. It's a gem film.

A very genuine film.

This film feels very real and relevant even to todays standards. Sometimes movies portray kids and their lives inaccurately but this film perfects that part. Even the plot is something that occurs often in teenage years.the films conveys the purity of childhood, love and connection between one another. This film shows how people shouldn't get attached to the past and live in the present, people grow, people die it's just a matter of life and the only way past it is acceptance. Overall one of the most accurate representations of teenage lives and relationships, a worthy film.

To start with, the opening credits scene is just ICONIC!! Literally. The music and the editing are just so good and well made. The story isn't new but it's unique because it's relatable. The script is good, dialogue is great, directing was awesome and for sure acting is magnificent. The mood is 100% lovely and you'll wish the movie never ends. Totally a rewatchable movie. I've watched it more than 10 times since 2017, when I first heard about it. I strongly recommend it. You'll fall in love with it. <3

This movie is for those who fall in love or have crush on someone in their teenage. It will remind you of your teenage just watch it !! It will be the best movie you'll ever watch on tennager!
