Oh Dear

Started bad

Continued Bad

Ended terribly

Back and forth with time lapsing. There is no story here at all. Singer singing in awful English and that's about it . Nil happens.

If you're expecting Hero With A Thousand Faces storytelling this is not it

The film captures the beautiful scenes and vibe of 90s Russia. If you're familiar with the East Block in the 90s you may appreciate a lot of the cinematography and mise en scene because it's spectacular down to the fashion.

It also very accurately captures the naivete and simplicity of being a 13 Yr old.

If you're hoping for the familiar structured story telling style from film school this is not it as some whiny reviewers have already mentioned in their undeserving low review scores.

Close to real

This was a life like in 90s in post Soviet Russia and Ukraine small towns

Also, suggesting to watch BRAT-2 (brother-2), Zhmurki (pick-a-boo) and Brigada.

For me it's Back to the future ) or 90"s)

Great flick, however, there is a big but... for all the people who lived trough that crime Russian time it will be a good nostalgia. Maybe like Chicago, Capone time and all the Italian crime families in USA. Great movie.

Go back to screenwriting school.

Where is the struggle? Where is the difficulty in achieving a goal? What is the protagonist's goal? Who is the antagonist, and where is the protagonist's character arc? The ending is mildly satisfying but as a film, this is a woefully lacking experiment in film storytelling.
