I did enjoy the movie the leads were great. The film does do a great job and showing how it must be to be in a country like Russia.

You see the end coming but the end end is great. The movie per se can be slow and a bit too long, but the message is simply beautiful.

In a bit shell

Pros 1. The leads, both guys are great on their respective parts and the chemistry they share is fascinating.

2. The message is powerful and the film does convey it outstandingly.

3. The story, so relevant to this day and eta

Cons.

1. It could have been shorter but I get it for the message the film wants to remark 2. It can be a bit too slowly 3. Choppy support cast.
