CGiii Comment

Russia is - rapidly - proving that it can give Hollywood a run for its money...

The SFX are pretty damn impressive...and, the score! A swelling beauty!

Admittedly, this does tick all the 'young adult' boxes...and, seemingly, the 'young adults' of Russia flocked to the cinemas to watch it!

Considering it was made in [dictator] Putin's Russia...it delivers some incredible [and risqué] messages...it's anti-war, there's a gay kid, government defiance...and, it's damn fine entertainment to boot!
