Positively surprised
alexleiman26 December 2013
I rarely watch Russian movies and was also quite skeptical about this one. I was proved wrong. I liked the movie pace - not action after action and not too many philosophical dialogs at the same time. I liked the way a story was portrayed - quite realistic homeless children and cops (maybe just a bit sweeter and nicer than real Russian police). Despite the fact that it was marked as 16+, I was pleased that there were no abusive or over the limit scenes - enough to intrigue and enough not to distract spectators focus from the main idea. I had teary eyes at the end - through our life we constantly have to make choices and face their consequences.

Nice , but could be much better.

I enjoy the film, the script and the performance of Darya Melnikova, as a bad ass street teenager is well developed. However the plot could have been more powerful with some shootings of her difficult childhood. It also needed more focus on the serial killer profile and live, there is nothing about his personality, and explanation on kills.
