Absolutely loved this film. I have not laughed to the point of gut-splitting pain in a long time.
While being one of the funniest and most beautifully films I have seen recently, the film was a poignant commentary on life particularly in Moscow, and less particularly in every other part of the world where advertisements, commerce, and socialization processes force collective humanity into a mold. I found it moving and incredibly enjoyable. This little girl makes her own definitions for beauty, her own temperamental luck, and her own guidelines for love. We experience her dreams, feel her emotions, and watch her young life bloom. Until a statistical tragedy takes its toll. Such is life.
