      Audience Member a spooky, icy romance of sorts, steeped in a lot of past bitterness. the gradual softening and even cementing of their relationship is quite touching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member hmm... definitely formulated, but you still want to see where it leads to, which is kind of nowhere. while i think it's an overall waste of scenery and the storyline had potential, you at least finish the film feeling at least some amount of empathy. hmm... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing movie from Russia, very touching story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A really sad movie about how a person can buy another but be set aback by the full length of what a personality can bring (even though found out by devious means). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie haunted me for a long time. I happened to catch it a couple of times late late at night and it turned out to be a great replacement for sleep. The emotion portrayed in this film is second to fucking none. It held me, it still holds me. It has a wonderful lack of Hollywood pretentiousness, and cliche ridden blather one normally finds - Hallelujah. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A quite powerful little movie that had potential to be more. It had the feel of an Emily Bronte story, yet the characters lacked the clarity in motivations, steal not bad though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
