Silver Skates

Now this movie is a hidden gem, never knew it existed, came across it in Netflix.

If you were a kid who grew up reading lots and lots of fairy tales (and now you do the same for your kids) - this movie will definitely bring back some fond memories and make tou feel good after watching it.

The scenes and the atmosphere were simply mesmerising and magical.

It was an enjoyable experience!

I hereby include this movie in my Christmas movie list!

Wait no longer, make yourselves a cup of cocoa n sink in to a wonderful experience of Russia in the 1900s.

A fairytale. An adventure drama based on a Russian book It is about a boy who joins a gang of ice skating pickpockets and meets an aristocratic girl and they fall in love, testing their love from social classes.

The typical story that he entertains.

Quality.

Entertaining The well recreated era, wonderful costumes and production values.

Good performances.

You easily get hooked on the characters.

Just a slight nude.

Good effects, just one moment is not fully achieved, just like action stunts.

It speaks of love, of fighting for who we want to be, of breaking the system, of breaking schemes, it even has feminist touches.

A wonderful Christmas fairy tale.

This movie is just fantastic !

Starting with the most beautiful location, St Petersburg !

Casting is great Costumes are so impressive !

Recommend viewing.

Surprisingly I really enjoyed this movie. Yes the plot was predictable and the performance of the main actors a little bit underwhelming, but overall it was beautifully made.

The cinematography were amazing and the action scenes made it fun to watch. Despite the length of the film I didn't feel bored, and it kept my interest until the end.

I really appreciate that we saw a strong and clever female character and not the typical beautiful princess.

All in all, a nice movie that raises awareness about women's rights and equality.

First of all this is my first review. Even though I am constantly rating movies and shows that I watched I feel so lazy to leave a comment. And also this is the first russian movie that I've watched. I truly loved this movie. Storyline was predictable mayb but the way that pictured to screen was amazing. I grow up reading the russian classics. So going to Russia in the new year's has been one of my dreams in this life. And this movie was made me feel like I was in that dream.
