First of all this is my first review. Even though I am constantly rating movies and shows that I watched I feel so lazy to leave a comment. And also this is the first russian movie that I've watched. I truly loved this movie. Storyline was predictable mayb but the way that pictured to screen was amazing. I grow up reading the russian classics. So going to Russia in the new year's has been one of my dreams in this life. And this movie was made me feel like I was in that dream.

Now this movie is a hidden gem, never knew it existed, came across it in Netflix.
If you were a kid who grew up reading lots and lots of fairy tales (and now you do the same for your kids) - this movie will definitely bring back some fond memories and make tou feel good after watching it.
The scenes and the atmosphere were simply mesmerising and magical.
It was an enjoyable experience!
I hereby include this movie in my Christmas movie list!
Wait no longer, make yourselves a cup of cocoa n sink in to a wonderful experience of Russia in the 1900s.

I was very impressed with the movie, it has a fairytale vibe Beautiful scenery, great costumes and nice story. Russia started to bring a lot of nice movies to the table, finally something else to watch that has values and its not full of politically correctness. Great job russian crew!

A fairytale. An adventure drama based on a Russian book
It is about a boy who joins a gang of ice skating pickpockets and meets an aristocratic girl and they fall in love, testing their love from social classes.
The typical story that he entertains.
Quality.
Entertaining The well recreated era, wonderful costumes and production values.
Good performances.
You easily get hooked on the characters.
Just a slight nude.
Good effects, just one moment is not fully achieved, just like action stunts.
It speaks of love, of fighting for who we want to be, of breaking the system, of breaking schemes, it even has feminist touches.

A wonderful Christmas fairy tale.
Russian fairytale got iceskating action and women's empowerment drama. Winter cinematography and gorgeous production design created unique cinematic experience for audience to sit through its predictability. Fedotov & Priss made a sweet inter-caste romance here.
