Incredible display of colour and cinematography. Absolutely loved Beanpole - the portrayal of PTSD was great too.

If you like realistic period films with great stories attached--this is a gem. Rugged, raw, and dark--post war Russia. Amazing!

A touching drama which deals with several complex topics (post World War II life in USSR, war traumas, communism, love, jealousy...)

Really unconfortable and hard to watch. It was a really good movie

Beanpole begins bleak and always finds fresh ways to make itself bleaker yet. It does this without overstepping or being eye-rollingly edgy.

A gripping 1st half on the coping with the horrors of war gives way to a slow, stilted, meandering love triangle in the 2nd.

Slow and dark. Very somber visualization of post WWII Soviet Russia.

That was disturbing experience, I was hurting for the characters because of the unflinching pace of the plot

Incredible performances and production design. But it’s just so bleak and upsetting that I didn’t get much enjoyment out of it. Memorable.

Good but kinda complex, not rewatchable at all and very forgettable
