Strange & Intense
By a customer from East Lothian, Scotland , 11 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
If you're looking for an easy going movie then look again, this film is intense from the outset. As with most of Ralph Fiennes' films it is rather dark and brooding. The acting is all top form, however the plot isn't, it continually jumps from place to place and backward and forward in time. If you take your eyes from the screen for more than a minute you'll be lost!
If you are not a staunch Ralph Fiennes fan then I wouldn't recommend it. However, if you are into dark, brooding, melodramas with great cinematography then this is the film for you.- Was this review helpful to you?

Intensely Russian
By born2run (80 reviews) from Isles of Scilly , 11 Dec 2011A changed and compressed version of the classic by Pushkin, but nonetheless a very good film with excellent editing and cinematography. The background music fitted perfectly as well and the acting was intense and moving. As for the aristocratic setting, no wonder the revolution was only a few years away.- Was this review helpful to you?

Russians' Onedin
By poppysch (9 reviews) , 02 Jul 2011Beautifully acted by Fiennes, Tyler. and Stevens. Rather broody and dark at times. These types of films are what Fiennes is all about. Not much of a story but then It's a Russian classic.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dry, uninspired, turgid and dull
By BigMeUp (281 reviews) from Midlands, UK , 17 May 2010Read the film's description carefully, because that is the whole of the story. It is the whole of the film also.
Reading other reviewers, I can only surmise that there is a big market for watching paint dry.- Was this review helpful to you?

Exceptional!
By Henley (12 reviews) from Sutton , 14 Mar 2009Pushkin is to the Russians, what Dickens is to th English. I saw this as an opera and thought it would be unequalled, but was delighted with the subtle complexities of the Russian character, where pride and honour are everything. Exceptional world cinema!- Was this review helpful to you?
