Brilliant in acting, cinematography and score. The story was not put together as well as it could have been.

To the reviewer from Australia, glad you are there. Here you would clearly be a liberal, anti Russian moron. The story transcends your anti-Russian dogma and details a story and a setting, not an agenda for today. If you didn't see that you should keep your two cents in your pocket. Presentation of a background in the realm where the characters were was spot on. The opulence was real, the war was real. The revolution was real. It was shown from a particular perspective without the underlying crap mr. Aussie thinks was there and imagined because his mind was already made up. Watch with an open mind and enjoy. Watch the original in Russian. Герой!!! Further, enjoy the performance of the song Romance by Dima Bilan. It is very well done.

Get ready to roll those eyes

This was apparently the highest grossing film at the Russian box office upon release which speaks to the level of media control and indoctrination there at the moment.

This melodrama of the highest level plays with all the sophistication of a 1930s B movie. Over the top acting and music cues really ham up the plot, which I might add has holes in it you can drive a bus through.

The movie is so pro-imperialist and very anti-Soviet revolution. This is interesting in itself as it must reflect the political climate in Russia at the moment.This is something I would like to look more into.

Visually it is bright and lavish and detailed, if not slightly derivative. The acting is poor. Dima Bilan is the lead. He may have won the Eurovision Song Contest but an actor that does not him make.

I am very glad I did not pay to see this, but instead won tickets to the Melbourne Russian Film Festival. I probably would have preferred to stay at home, instead of incredulously rolling around in my cinema chair at each new unsubtle and cringe-worthy development.
