Matilda

The only strong part of the movie is it's visual: shooting, decorations, costumes and locations look excellent. The movie looks expensive, and it is.

The sets and costumes are reason alone for watching this movie. It's amazingly produced. If you accept the story is a melodramatic exaggeration of the facts then it's exciting and entertaining. One flaw is the cast Nicky and Alix don't look much like the people they are playing. Just accept it as a fantasy version of history and you'll have a good time. The subtitles are hard to read.

The actors have not reached a high level of quality; the plot tries in vain to show us a romantic story that has never been that way. In the end, bad women without morals will always exist but they will never have a successful future.

The worst movie ever. The creators should be ashamed of such hystorical lies. Do not waste your time on this one.

If this movie is using real persons names, it shouldn't be so far from real facts. Sadly, it is from the very start, where Nicky faints during his wedding. Utter nonsense, as it is known that he was genuinely in love with Alix (that marriage did not made his mother happy as she hoped for better standing partner for him). It is funny to see ppl from Russia call Nicholas and Alexandra saints (they were a normal happy couple, just totally unfit for ruling, and victims of both their actions and historical events). Yet this movie really made even me angry. Why not take real facts which are interesting enough? Why make such a stupid script? Moreover, the actors don't resemble the people they are playing to the least.
