'This is a road movie with a difference, photographing the Russian countryside with loving care… the result is something exceptional which would only have been made by real film-makers who have perhaps seen and loved something like Truffaut’s '400 Blows'' Derek Malcom - GUARDIAN 'Beautifully scripted and shot by its first-time directors' THE TIMES 'This eerie and atmospheric Russian road movie is beautifully shot and acted with an internal moodiness that really gets under our skin.' Rich Cline, SHADOWS ON THE WALL 'First time directors Boris Khlebnikov and Alexei Popogrebsky have crafted a beautiful, mesmerising film…' THE TIMES (First Choice) 'What a year it’s been for Russian debutants. Adopting the same wry melancholy as... ’The Return’, Boris Khlebnikov and Alexei Popogrebsky’s ambling road movie manages to romanticise the Motherland while exposing its very real socio-economic problems' David Parkinson - EMPIRE 'Quietly haunting' Leslie Felperin - UNCUT 'A magnificent achievement' SIGHT AND SOUND
