Anastasia: Once Upon a Time

Don't touch russian history ever again. If you're not able to respect other cultures, if you're too lazy or ignorant to study them before filming, then STOP. Just don't come near it. As a russian I feel extremely offended right now. This movie must be deleted from the existence.

This is disgusting. Stop mocking other cultures, and learn to use google for once if you don't have normal history textbooks at schools. Russian people are depicted as barbarians and I find it offensive, as if this mocked me personally. If you can't create normal representation and respect other cultures, then please don't even try ever again and mock your own culture (oh wait, you don't have any! whoops!)

Tasteless doesn't even cover this. Regardless of your opinions of the Russian Revolution and casting disproven conspiracy theories aside, the historical fact remains that a young girl was killed alongside her family. To try to turn that into some kind saccharine feel-good family fantasy movie is very disrespectful. Why not just do an animated musical about Anne Frank if we're going to be so tasteless? Some subjects need to be treated with due gravity. This is the kind of story that should be done as a serious drama. If you want to make a family film about hope and friendship, fine, there are other tales that can be adapted, or better still, do something original. At some point whilst the idea for this was being pitched, someone should have had the lightbulb moment that this is a horrible idea. I can totally understand why people from Russia are so angered by this film.

This movie is a total disgrace to the whole cinematography world. It seems that in 2020 you can blame Russia for almost anything, but descending to the level when you literally start mocking its history and culture? This time you guys managed to cross the line. Absurd plot, bad (and I mean really bad) acting and a total disconnection from reality are just tip of the iceberg.

This has to be the most ridiculous low budget movie ive ever seen. They would have done better to just not bother with the Russian accents since they were terrible and the actors frequently dropped the accent anyway. The costuming is terrible, it looked like the romanov princess had bought her dress at a cheap costume store. Most of the props looked cheap and gawdy which made it much less magical than what they seemed to be going for. The storyline is kind of pointless. Even as a young child i think i would have found this movie pretty lackluster. Nothing about it was actually good.
