Critics Reviews

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 Jun 29, 2017 Full Review Noel Murray 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. Jun 15, 2017 Full Review 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. Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Lisa Trifone 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. May 28, 2019 Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly The picture resembles the recent 100 Streets, though it could have used some of that film's unabashed soapiness. Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Anita Katz 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 Jul 14, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
