Film Reviews by FMJ

Not only was this film good entertainment but it was also an education. Well-acted and realistic in every way. What an insight to human nature and to communist Russia. There are few films out there of this calibre.

I have to say we did not watch it all. The first 20 minutes were full of bad language, horrible attitudes and child abuse. You might say in that respect it was an accurate portrayal of the real life story. I would just like to have been warned before our family sat down to enjoy a movie for the evening. I suspect from the reviews it became more inspirational later on.
