Rivkah I The movie speaks to the power of children, to inspire, connect, and spread courage, hope, and faith in the most devastating times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Julie B It was a wonderful film. Highs and lows, love and romance. Even better it was a true story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Terry S It feels weird giving a Russian-made film three and a half stars, but surprisingly, it was actually pretty good. The little boy in the lead role did a good job. Of course it had all of the usual Russian movie tropes, like silly dialog, everyone being happy about being in the army, and the male commander falling in love with a female subordinate. The fX and photography were good, and even the acting was okay. It's supposedly a true story, but that's somewhat hard to believe, because some of the things that are portrayed have to be fictional. For one example, in the very beginning, the boy's aunt helps him escape from the Germans by putting him outside of the house through a window and she is immediately shot dead from outside as soon as she sets him down, but the boy gets away without interference. Overall, I wouldn't watch it again, in spite of the 3.5-star rating, but I'd recommend others to see it at least once. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Gerardo T The kid who took the role of Sergei was super talented at acting. In fact, He deserves an award for it, the film's story is excellent also, and every scene with the kid in it will give you feels. This is absolutely a must-watch film.
