Accidentally found the movie on youtube and when I started watching it I couldn't stop. Non stop i sit chair all 2 hours non-stop. Film reminded me of my first love and teenage years I am thrilled with this movie.

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.

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.

There's something about Russian films like Czech ones that makes them, more often than not, very watchable. What should have been my least favourite type of film, a teenage romance is, in this case, a funny and touching film that adults can enjoy. The story couldn't be simpler, or more overdone. A boy (Lyosha) falls for a girl (Vika) and struggles to get her attention. In this case these are working class kids not the over privileged middle class ones usually portrayed in this type of movie. Add to this a permanent state of hostility between his school and hers and the dysfunctional parents they both have. My favourite character is Lyosha's mother who was clearly a young teen when she became pregnant with Lyosha and is more childlike than her son.

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!
