Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Lucia Ayala
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is a story about 12 or 13 years old girl in the middle of 60-th in USSR. She is a pioneer. She is in love with her pioneer leader - 16-17 years old boy, who doesn't even notice her. In order to impress him she tries to find someone, who was a member of pioneer squad in 1923 - one of the first Soviet pioneers... All the time, when I watched the film, I was thinking - How simple was life during that period of time! Kind of nostalgia! It was possible to walk from door to door, entering flats of unknown people and just talk to them... and they never afraid of letting unknown person in. People were open to each other. On the other hand - all that pioneer stuff was just completely out of time... I gave it 7 out of 10. Mainly because the young actors were perfect and the story about first love and disappointment was very plausible and convincing!
