Linda K. T. (shannylee38)

The film title and the cover may seem awkward. But this picture is much more than just a character in love. The ways in which the film is presented is unique. Although we never see the main character, we can feel his emotions through his words and his eyes.
I strongly recommend this film to people who want to experience a different style of filmmaking.

Without a doubt, this film is aesthetically one of the most beautiful film i've seen in years. Every little detail contributed to the imaginative world of the little boy. But the storytelling was at times confusing. Although we understand the boy's emotions, we don't get to fully understand the other characters. Hence the little bits and pieces that are forgotten create an incomplete story.
Overall, it is worth seeing because there's great cinematography, great soundtrack and great acting from Max Records!

This film may be 3 hours long but it is filled with very interesting cinematography and, incredible representation of Russians struggling for their survival. Considering that the story takes place in the 15th century, we see how the religion has an major impact on the people. A film to see but only if you're able to appreciate great art and religion blend in one film.
