GREAT PRODUCTION VALUES. BUT DEPRESSING.
I actually watched this movie until the end. It has suspense, handsome protagonists, great production values (directing, wardrobe, props, locations, casting etc.). But it has too cruel a dose of reality for my liking. I watch a movie hoping that it will transport me, you know: uplift me. I didn't find that with this movie. I had a similar unfortunate experience with movie I am Michael (2015). I saw it, appreciated the expertise involved in making it, but wished that I hadn't seen it. If you are Gay (and I suspect that a lot of the viewers might be) I would not recommend this movie. If you are having friends over and want a movie - to have a good time - then leave this one alone. There is no gratuitous violence, and the sex scenes are very tame and tasteful. I would class them as homo-sensual rather than homo-sexual, If you enjoy movies like Titanic.(1997), The Boys In The Band (2020) or Brokeback Mountain (2005) then this could be for you. If you are looking for something like Shelter,(2007), Fair Haven (2016), Jeffrey (1995), Beautiful Thing (1993), The Bird Cage (1996), or Apart From Hugh (1994) then probably not. - daniel-gustafsson - 18 September 2022
Thank you for making this movie
Thank you Peeter and Tom for this beautiful film, for putting your hearts into this project and for telling us Sergey's story. This is an excellent and very interesting production, the directing and the acting is simply outstanding, and the fact that it is based on a true story makes the experience of watching the film very powerful. The chemistry between the three lead actors is unbelievable, and their performances as well as those of the minor roles are memorable. It is also very interesting from an historical perspective, and paints a very realistic, authentic and balanced picture of life in the Soviet era. The characters are truly 3-dimensional and very believable from psychological viewpoint, and the character development wonderful. The film has a lot of suspense too, and it is very well edited, not at all too long. I really, really loved it....everything about it....10 out of 10.
