Lost in Russia

I only watched it to train my chinese, didn't expect much from it, but it was quite entertaining. A lot of feelings involved and released. Also, some comical moments. Pretty decent.

I was expecting something like "Lost in Thailand" and was surprised of the mother-and-son relationship theme. It still made me laugh with no dull moments but I cried more. It even made me reflect on my own life ^_^ The almost 2 hour runtime is so worth it! :-)

The whole movie seems a love story - between mother and son. Well I don't bother to watch the trailer first so I don't have an idea what was this all about. Lost in Russia is more a family drama than comedy, it has barely genuine funny moments and most of the scenes are the struggling relationship of a full grown man to his mother and ex wife.

Interesting because I often avoid the genre of comedy because its stupid and shallow, but this one keeps me hook from beginning to end.

A really good film, full of ups and down in emotions. Some really sad moments, some stressful and plenty of comedic relief. Good messaging in the story. Has full English subtitles and is available for free online, so it's worth the watch
