This movie is for those who fall in love or have crush on someone in their teenage. It will remind you of your teenage just watch it !! It will be the best movie you'll ever watch on tennager!

I had nothing to do on a cold Friday night and was browsing the channels on the local cable tv, when accidentally found this film,and I couldn't move my finger anymore to continue browsing channels. The story grabbed me so much, I couldn't move for 2 hours!

Very well done everything - story line, actors play, camera work, music! Surely one of the best Russian films I've ever seen. I speak Russian and I know the culture and the reality in Russia now and then, and maybe that made it even more enjoyable to watch. It presented everything very well, it was concentrated on emotions not on materialism, which made me give it a high 9/10.

Hats down to those young actors which made it so thrilling! They acted like they've been doing this for 20 years!! Especially that boy Lyosha (Gleb Kalyuzhnyy) - he nailed it from start to finish!

Go and watch it no matter if you are a teen or a matured one. It's a gem film.

This movie is very sweet, pure and nostalgic at times. It ended so quickly, I wanted more. Very realistic feel to this Russian coming-of-age film. Reminds me a lot of Boyhood. Things work out a little too well at each step here, but that's not to say it's without drama.

The soundtrack is a lot of fun-gives it a similarity to Brat (which the film directly references). Great job representing the generational gap between mother and son and the complexities of communication. Her birds and the bees talk while he's zoning out with music blaring on his earphones is very nicely done.

I watched this movie to create a moment of complicity with my 13 yo daughter (and to practice Russian). With different level of "reading" we were both amazed. The main actors have a mind-blowing talent. The subtility, fragility and intensity of the characters emotions is reflected by the esthetics of the movie taking place in this working class environment. So simple and so perfect at the same time, the layers of the mother's emotions are brought to us in a manner that is so simple and subtle at the same time. A real gem well hidden for us, non Russian cinema lovers. My daughter says she never saw teenagers emotions and "drama" so precisely depicted by "the world of adults" and with such kindness.

Accidentally found the movie on youtube and when I started watching it I couldn't stop. Non stop i sit chair all 2 hours non-stop. Film reminded me of my first love and teenage years I am thrilled with this movie.
