Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marc SavlovA brilliant, Chekhovian meditation on trust, love, and the intrusive horrors that period of time brought to otherwise normal families.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyThere's a touch of Chekhovian poetic realism in Mikhalkov's mesmerizingly beautiful chronicle of love, family, and the intrusion of politics, which won the 1994 best foreign-language Oscar.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Rob GonsalvesOverbearing and, unsurprisingly, mostly forgotten.
Denton Record-Chronicle - 5/10 by Boo AllenBrilliant allegory about retired Russian officer who discovers he can't escape Stalin's purges.
Internet Reviews - 3/10 by Steve RhodesI generally don't like slapstick comedy, and this movie was no exception.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris SThe most moving picture about the Soviet Russia in the 1930's I have seen.
User Review - 10/10 by Jay BAnother of my favorite films. Oleg Menshikov is perhaps my favorite actor, and this is one of the best performances ever. The treatment of the Purges coupled with tragic romance is so touching - how everyone who lived through this time - and beyond - was burnt by it. No one escaped.
User Review - 10/10 by Trevor AA truly Chilling tale - reasonably accurate as to the power and fear instilled in the Stalin era - and delivered with such ability by Menshikov and Mikhalkov (who's daughter appears in the film too - as Natasha)
User Review - 10/10 by Thomaz NArguably Mikhalkov's best, this gem of a movie depicts the deep moral contradictions inherent to totalitarianism and fanatism. A true must-see - if not for the plot, at least to see Menshikov's exquisite acting.
User Review - 10/10 by Nils RProbably, people who do truely mad things aren't that mad. Now that's scary.
