Koly padayut dereva

In general, it is a grey mix that alternates scenes of domestic violence and unjustified cruelty, seasoning it with the tragedy of a rural bleak routine, from which the main character cannot escape. The drama seems to be present, but for some reason sympathy for the main characters is not awakened, perhaps because of the chaos and, in some cases, the absurdity of events and actions. Sometimes it can be perceived as a documentary with elements of delusion or attacks of mysticism. The filmmakers do not seem to understand that the unspoken, ill-considered, or recklessness of the scenes is not yet poetic or highly artistic. Several allegorical-eloquent and not tainted with hopelessness scenes of childish, innocently-amazed perception of the world by the little girl Vitka, in particular her relationship with an almost fabulous white horse, do not save viewer from the feeling of life-cluttering, illogicality and depression that remain after watching this movie. Score - 3/10.
