Best movie ever!
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Brothers Torsuev (Vladimir and Yuri) are wonderful actors. They basically save the whole movie. The work of director, however, needs some bust of energy. The story of the movie is not conclusive and very far from the original book. However, the way the director made children act deserves an award. Brothers Torsuev do their best. But because the story itself is not well thought, their acting fades in the flaws of the movie. The music choice contains some of the best children songs in the former Soviet Union. Wish those songs were better implemented in the movie. The songs say it all. They are THE BEST. Generally, this movie deserves 5 out of 10 points, mostly because of Torseyvs, kids and music.
