Criticism[edit]
- The Hollywood Reporter: In this literature-centric and one hundred percent acting film, given its specific genre, it was easy to fall into the slapstick, as in tartare. But in this lies the director's courage and skill of Andrey Proshkin.[3]
- Afisha: It is difficult to watch this film - just like a human being: there is practically no sense of taste in it, and there are tangible problems with a sense of proportion.[4]
- Ogoniok: Andrey Proshkin's film has a rare, inexplicable quality of appeal to the future (at the same time, we still understand that 99 percent of the rest of today's films are directed to the past or to nothing at all). At the same time the film has a rare charge of positivity. You literally leave the cinema with the feeling that victory is near.[5]
