I don't even know where to begin on how awful this film is. The anti-Russian black and white propaganda aside (no Russian person is depicted in any other way than as a junky, aggressive, delusional, blood-thirsty lunatic), the plot is so full of illogical behaviour of the characters; no deeper development of the characters is done despite the length which is a mere product of poor directing by a person who doesn't know when to say CUT, nor how to instruct the actors to give a little bit more flesh to the bone. What a waste of the funds and trust gained after the "Artist" (although I must admit, I didn't like it either, but it had at least some substance; it was too long as well, I might add). So unnecessarily long. What a mistake of a film. What an obvious and childish propaganda. I guess Hazanavicius was just extremely lucky with the "Artist". Here he showed what a dilettante he actually is. Shame.
