Sam S Its a great example of evergreen movie that will interest any generation. There is everything in this movie: love, romance, hate, comedy, tragedy and much more and all of that mixed almost perfect. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/23 Full Review s r A bizarre communist tv movie that was a bit tedious, but it still managed to entertain. My brother mentioned this and it was reinforced by my sister, so I gave the two episodes a watch. The premise alone is hilarious, taking a good jab at communist housing, but it also shows unique insights to communist culture. The new year's tree being decorated (not Christmas), the bathhouse culture and even the dating culture for the time. Really a gem. It was on youtube. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member My introduction to Russian cinema, and to say the bar has been set pretty high is an understatement. RomCom perfection, perhaps just as iconic in Russia as Love Actually is to modern romcom fans, but with an unorthodox plot similar to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It starts slow, but when you get past the 25-minute buildup, it's an emotional rollercoaster from there. The only sad thing is, I ended up feeling like I should have been in Russia in 1976 when this aired. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A hilarious look at life in Soviet-era apartments. It's easy to see why watching this is a New Year's tradition in many countries. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the funniest film I have ever seen. A comedy of errors superior even to La Regle de Jeu. Funnier even that Top Secret and The Life is Brian. Yes, I really said those words. Painfully funny. A must watch at New Year. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The Irony of Fate, or "Enjoy Your Bath" is quite the undertaking tagging in at a little over 3 hours, but very worth a watch. One of the better Rom-Coms I have seen foreign or domestic. The Irony of Fate showcased several traditional aspects of Soviet and Russian culture making it intriguing to see how romance differs from that in the states. The music and story were exceptional with different yet still funny humor for the duration of the movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
