Featured reviews
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.
It is a good option to entertain you for 2 hours; the actors are charismatic, the plot is decent and the cinematography is beautiful; it is a nice love story full of drama and action.

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.

The story is set in 1900, in Russia. Two people from different social classes meet... how will the story end?
I found it on Netflix and decided to give it a try. The Russian winter atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. I liked the places and the ice skiing made it easier to watch as it gave some rapidity. I liked the feminism side of the film considering the epoque in which the story is set. I would have liked to see a more clear explanation of the political background because as the viewer gets to see the romance, he can get easily distracted by lots of details. Unfortunately it's a bit too long.
