Brings back the magic of video games from childhood although tetris launched into a world that had largely moved on from such simple delights.
The film is incredibly ambitious delving into licensing and legal rights which treats the audience as adults. Its quite rare these days and mostly it works although maybe it drags a little.
Where is serves us so well is the accurate portrayal of communism. I was lucky enough to visit during that time and it was a horror show yet strangely it is often portrayed romantically through rose tinted spectacles. Not here the brutal reality and corruption is on full display.
Overall 7/10 for a good story well told and top marks for their honest portrayal of the soviet union and Maxwell. Very amusing that the russian scenes were filmed in glasgow which as the modern day successor of the soviet state makes so much sense.

Fascinating movie with top cast. Very engrossing and emotive given the way likeable characters are manipulated and subject to disturbing treatment at the hands of a psychopath.
This is very topical given nudge and psychological techniques were openly used on the population recently. The ethics of this need to be closely examined and this movie helps shed light on what is possible when trust is given to a third party who abuses for their own purpose.
High recommended. 7/10.
