GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Andrei Pavlov Another example of "from English literature to Russian cinema" brilliant transposition, 7 March 2007 This is a sci-fi movie which does not need special effects to "hook" a viewer. The main lead - Mr Innokenti Smoktunovsky - is making a very captivating movie out of something that may look like a boring theatrical play. Cannot forget his devilish character with a cane. Together with "Hamlet" (where Mr Innokenti Smoktunovsky also performed excellently), this film belongs to cinematic treasury.It is really a phenomenon how outstandingly well the classic English literature works were put on screen by Russia (how about"Priklyucheniya Sherloka Kholmsa i doktora Vatsona"?). Even England itself is lagging behind in this sphere (no offense here). It can be a freaky material for a scientific research actually.10 out of 10, no question. Thank you for attention.
