I bought the film to watch it Sunday evening with my family. I like Chadov and the review of the film didn't sound that bad, but I found the film truly embarrassing. Not only it is deadly boring, it's been put together by amateurs. Even if it was targeted at young children, I'd doubt you'll find a child who will sit to the middle of this movie. A number of factual mistakes in geography, history, costume, culture etc contributed to me hating the film. Top tip, skip the film and don't waste your time. Yet if you were so unfortunate to have watched the film already, could you tell me what was the dead talking Chinese doll all about?

All those who love beautiful story, not just children, have to see that indie movie. The movie is entertaining for any age. The young Russian actor, Alekseï Chadov (who also plays in Night Watch )is very good and you will love the little horse. More, you will discover the unknown part of Russia and its variety of Asian peoples with their own customs (played by good unknown and, maybe no-professional actors). You will make a wonderful trip through Sideria, see amazing landscapes and learn a lot about Russian even if the story is in XIX century. This story is also a little Russian history. In conclusion, a good movie for all the family!

The only reason I am giving more than one star to this movie is because there are even worse movies out there. Which does not mean that there is anything good about this one -- there isn't. I had seen Alexei Chadov before in other films, and he is (or was?) such a good young actor that his name alone drew to me this one. What a huge disappointment! There is no acting in this film whatsoever, not on Chadov's nor on anybody else's part. Acting is bad, directing is bad, the whole setup is entirely wrong in most details. Everything is so false. Boring, bad, horrible movie. I truly regret that I wasted my time watching this, and I strongly urge to stay away from it - this movie is not worth watching it.
