  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Apr 2021

  Sergei Bodrov plays Danila with an understated magnificence. A large portion of the film’s irresistible stylishness is due to its killer soundtrack.

  Synchronic 2019

  ★★★ Watched 26 Apr 2021

  The film is extremely well acted and has moments of genuinely hilarious bittersweet comedy, but the script groans under the weight of a sinful glut of sweeping woah-dude philosophical statements about life. It also comes with the usual variety of plot holes to be expected in any film of this kind. Enjoyable nonetheless.
