    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Don't watch it, whatever you do. Sure, the depiction of late-soviet Russia is good enough. However, it is quickly forgotten when Balabanov serves you the most sickening perversion trying to pass it as satire (?) or art or as a symbol of everything that's wrong with the world..you will find yourself thinking why I am watching this? I very much enjoyed Brat, War etc. but this..this is not cinematography, this is an example of what you can make people watch just about any rubbish as long as you have the enough money, a well-known name and a producer with dark twisted fantasies. How this ever got into production I will never know. And if someone does eventually find a deep philosophical meaning under all the goo, I don't think I'll even want to bother finding out what it is.

    “Don't watch it, whatever you do” that was an advice from an audience and I may agree as this is indeed very difficult to watch… however this is a masterpiece nevertheless! A masterpiece of merciless reconstruction of the realm of soviet middle-of-nowhere; brave in its total lack of restrain, any social or political correctness. It is totally depressing and probably pointless for an audience with no soviet background; those who do carry such background will either spit and swear or will go home, have a glass of vodka and a sleepless night. There are also few bits of magnificent camera work in the movie.
