Film was not a big-budget, multi continent blockbuster. But it was entertaining, and enjoyable, and achieved its objective. Overall well written, good screenplay, well edited. Captured the narrative (I assume that) they wanted us to have. Would I watch it again? I doubt it. Would I recommend it, maybe not recommend it, but if someone wanted to watch something in this class I would definitely suggest it. Full credit to all involved, if you are not sure if you want to watch it you should, they did it very well

I enjoyed watching it last night. Nordic actors such as Martin Wallström and Peter Franzén did wonderful performances. I almost believed Martin was Ukrainian, he did very well. Bravo! I should also congratulate Marius A. Markevicius for making such a wonderful film on a low budget. The script was well developed and the dialogues were simple. The writer lucratively portrayed an old conflict between Eastern European countries and Russia back in 1942. Production design and locations were also good. Well done! Thank you for making this film for creating awareness.

Movies are never as good as the book, but this movie deviates just enough from the storyline of the book to keep your interest while not imposing on the integrity of the book. Highly recommended.

Total pun considering the distance to siberia. This movie aims for there, but gets bogged in a swamp outside moscow. I wish i could file criminal charges against the production team because the way they managed to destroy such a captivating character should be criminal. Kretzsky, of course is who i am getting at. The potential setup of him was brilliant but it fizzled out into nothing. Then, about 3/4 of the movie in, his character gets a chance of redemption. And what does the movie do? Just absolutely nothing. If you do not get angered by how they threw away all their characters away you did not watch this movie. The scenery was nice, the sets well made, the real life element capture was close to that of schindler's list. And that's all this movie has for it! All the raw emotion, personal struggle, complex relationships all the things they could have focused on in a movie about siberia (where NOTHING happens) they didnt. Instead it is just one scene of build up after another, then fizzle, then more of the same. No follow through, no culmination, no emotion. At the end i couldn't care if any of them survived. The complete failure of this crew to attach the viewer to what should have been a sad tale of struggle cannot be forgiven. And to further insult us, of course the propaganda message before titles roll just had to be there, because let's face it. Unless you literally typed it on the screen, nobody would have grasped what this was even about. It was that bad.

This movie is something of that type, where you appreciate the scenes individually, but when put together, it absolutely makes no sense. Okay, this is what happened in the past. Okay, that you have showed us exactly what happened! But no! This is not HOW you show it to your audience! It must have a story ; a bottom line! I accept that many scenes did make me cry because the cast is super! And the cinematography is beautiful. But there was something missing. I didn't get bored anywhere. The movie kept my heart still when i was trying to anticipate what will happen next. And for that 5/10 seems just fine 👍🏼

.. that Stalin was as much as a monster and evil inhumane madman as Adolf Hitler ! The NKVD were the SS of Soviet Union. The people of Eastern Europe Baltic states and south Eastern Europe had a terrible time equivalent to Western Europe ! And remember today we have a Russian lead by a man with equivalent evil tendencies who has already annexed Crimea !
