Audience Member TIL: Roger Ebert was a moron. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent. Encore mieux, si on a un peu lu sur les oligarques auparavant. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting look at the rise of a Russian Oligarch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review jamie t After a choppy first half, reminiscent of CITIZEN KANE, which rapidly recounts the protagonist's rise to power, a sudden twist (albeit one that's pretty obvious in hindsight) leads to a dark, gripping final act, and an intriguingly unresolved conclusion. Not that the first half is chopped liver; Plato Makovski, the tycoon of the title, is quite an interesting character, and the scenes of his rise to power are fascinating-but they are poorly organized, and one wishes for more explanation of his rise than scenes of the investigating judge from the Urals going from witness to witness; as it is, these are more efficient at filling time than filling in gaps in the story. Vladimir Mashkov is strong as Makovski; none of the other actors are especially distinctive, but none embarrass themselves either. Not a great film, but an interesting example of the new Russian cinema. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's no 'Godfather.' It's no 'Scarface.' And it's definitely no 'Citizen Kane.' But still, it's not that bad. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Reflects a general idea of post-Soviet entrepreneurship pretty good.
