Nihilistic and hopeless, but what else could you want? That's the point.
Sad, emotional, cold, brutal and injustice. Beautiful and dark cinematography with good storyline and material. Good performances. See it...
Brilliant indie drama mystery, good performances and amazing cinematography, moving
A must for corruption fans, story has same time realism and bit of magical destiny touch
A sprawling yet intimate exploration of Russian corruption, telling a bleak, heart-wrenching tale of the people crushed by the Leviathan.
One of the darkest comedies from Russia.
Beautiful retelling of the story of Job set in the Russian Arctic. Visually stunning with compelling characters and heartbreaking story.
It'll take you to the after soviet Russian Politics ,Church , Life , culture and hollowness . Typical slow russian film but worth to watch.
A visually beautiful film that still feels gross and run down. The acting is great, but the story is very slow with a lot of down time.
I did really like it but a bit too slow for me. That is part of what makes it great but I prefer a little more clear progression.
