    Beautiful scenery, heartwarming story

    I was very impressed with the movie, it has a fairytale vibe Beautiful scenery, great costumes and nice story. Russia started to bring a lot of nice movies to the table, finally something else to watch that has values and its not full of politically correctness. Great job russian crew!

    Iceskating action and women's empowerment drama

    Russian fairytale got iceskating action and women's empowerment drama. Winter cinematography and gorgeous production design created unique cinematic experience for audience to sit through its predictability. Fedotov & Priss made a sweet inter-caste romance here.

    A romance / action fairytale

    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.

    A historical romantic fairytale.

    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.
