    Definitely should watch if you haven't.

    A pretty emotional movie, but one I was glad to find. At first I didn't know about watching it due to the fact it was in Russian however I was lucky to find that there are English subtitles, definitely a good war movie to watch or just a good movie to watch in general. Please consider watching this!

    It's all about perspective .

    Don't watch this as 'soldier' perspective but watch this as 'soldier boy' perspective . Lower your expectation and you will enjoy watching this . Recommend to watch with family too . Ignore the rating and just watch .

    10 /10 acting and that music, that you can call real war movie with emotions. Andrey Andreev made great job.

    WOW that was great movie. The film is great and there really are moments in the movie when it's sad,and you can crie and there are moments where that little sweet boy who's acting is really great can make you laugh. I belive Andrey Andreev will be realy famous and great actor. By the way, I don't write reviews about movies on IMDB, but this one really deserves a higher rating than 6,5 stars but I gave 10 stars because movie was really great. By the way, Russians make great war movies for small budget, unlike American films that invest millions.
