Alan Zilberman

Washington Post

O'Reilly's ambitions notwithstanding, "Moscow" is uneven because of the inescapable nature of such interlocking narratives: some land better than others.

Rated: 2/4

Los Angeles Times

Modeled after "everything's connected" movies like "Short Cuts" and "Magnolia," this slickly produced if somewhat dry multi-character study makes good use of location.

Frank Scheck

Hollywood Reporter

The jumble of storylines inevitably results in narrative confusion, and the relationships linking them, some of which are only revealed late in the proceedings, don't resonate strongly.

Third Coast Review

Writer/director Johnny O'Reilly manages to string together his characters and their stories in such a way that their connections reveal themselves in due time... fitting together as if they were die-cast to precise measurements.

SF Weekly

The picture resembles the recent 100 Streets, though it could have used some of that film's unabashed soapiness.

San Francisco Examiner

Beyond the novelty, and beneath the surface dazzle, the human stories, while solidly acted, deliver little emotional impact. Moscow may never sleep, but the waking lives depicted in movies like this need to truly affect us.

Rated: 2.5/4

Brilliant. If you've ever lived in Moscow, you'll find this film makes you want to go back. Poignant, funny and well written.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

On Moscow City Day, the lives of multiple characters are followed and eventually interconnect. However, the themes were so melancholic and many of the characters so unlikable that I didn't care what happened to any of them by the time the movie ended.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
