    I didn't expect it to be THAT good!

    I watched this movie on a Toronto-Ukrainian Film Festival. I absolutely loved it!

    It's funny, heartfelt, and filled with clever Easter eggs that only Ukrainians might catch.

    The plot keeps you engaged - just when you think you've figured it out, it flips your expectations in a brilliant way. It's a perfect balance of laughter and emotion, with moments that truly move you.

    What strikes me is the fact that it's basically a one-man play. The lead actor Volodymyr Kravchuk is both charismatic and charming. You really feel for him.

    Beautifully crafted and creatively told, it's a story that stays with you long after the credits roll.

    A sci-fi gem!

    What a beautiful film! A low-budget, high-quality film with a lot of content, as well as being entertaining and featuring an excellent performance by Volodymyr Kravchuk. It will certainly be in my top 10 of the year.

    The film's direction is masterful. Various feelings are explored, such as empathy with the characters' loneliness, sadness regarding their certain and fatal destiny, and the ever-present humor. A mix of post-catastrophic futuristic science fiction, comedy, romance, and drama with a sensitive view of what it means to be human.

    It's a shame that more intelligent and sensitive science fiction films like this don't get more attention from the cinema and streaming market.

    I absolutely loved the movie

    Here's a polished version of your text while keeping your style intact:

    It was fun, sad, touching, philosophical, and simple all at once. Comedy and tragedy blended in perfect proportion. You're watching one man in a closed space for the entire movie, yet you never feel bored.

    Hope intertwines with hopelessness, and I was deeply moved by the main character's story. He's just a simple truck driver-nothing special, not a hero or an intellectual-but he embodies the essence of humanity.

    It's sci-fi with the vibe of classic sci-fi movies, without mind-blowing graphics or effects. Yet, it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster and leaves you with plenty to think about and feel. I'd watch it again for sure and recommend it to all my friends.

    Lovely film

    I'm usually too lazy to write reviews, but this one is worth a note.

    I had some spare hours between appointments near a theater that specializes in alternative and art films, so I chose this one - we don't get many chances to watch Ukrainian movies.

    I loved it. It's a surprisingly good film with a great balance of science fiction, drama, romance, and comedy.

    The science part was impressive. I studied aerospace engineering, so I had classes about spaceships, orbits, space maneuvers, propulsion systems, and communications - and I usually get frustrated with space-related movies. But this one really got it right. I wasn't actively looking for errors, but everything felt pretty logical.

    Despite taking place in a confined space with only one character on screen most of the time, the acting was very convincing and really drew me in.

    There were also some references and Easter eggs from other movies that I absolutely loved - they added a clever, funny touch.

    A film that left me very much

    I rarely write reviews, but this film impressed me so much that I felt the need to do so. It is a film that, in the garb of science fiction, touches on many other themes. It does so while wringing both smiles and tears. Declared pacifist, despite the fact that it deals with the end of the world, it leaves a kind of faint hope, on the fate of the human race, on love relationships and also on those that bind us with so-called artificial intelligences. There are many tributes, from Kubrick to Ridley Scott via Christopher Nolan. Kudos to the male lead, who almost single-handedly held up the entire length of the film admirably. In short, I really recommend this film.
