David Phelps Slant Magazine Perhaps no director since Hitchcock has been quite this obsessed with glimpses and gazes. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 9, 2008 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The story and its components are not developed adequately; everything takes place in a rush. Omirbaev seems to assume our sympathy and interest, rather than arouse and develop them. Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Eric Hynes Stop Smiling An adaptation of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina transposed to contemporary Kazakhstan, Chouga is a masterful distillation of the great novel's characterizations and themes. Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Leo Goldsmith Reverse Shot Ramps down Tolstoy's soap-opera grandiosity, while still managing to elevate the banalities of a high-society dalliance to the level of a cosmic psychodrama Aug 8, 2009 Full Review Kent Turner Film-Forward.com Chouga never loses control%u2014a performance Lana Turner would be proud of.
