While I enjoyed seeing Russia through the eyes of a citizen, and the dreary streets and the understandable fear of the military lifestyle, this movie was way too slow and full of inconsequential things. There are a lot of background Voices from radio and television that added nothing to the plot. Sometimes the music would escalate and you,d think "Ah, now something will happen" but it wouldn't. it is a one theme movie and too much of the scenes are static with no underlying meaning.The acting was good and the filming okay. I did not understand the relationship between the father and daughter, I guess that was a Russian thing. I didn't really like anyone a whole lot ,maybe the main character,so didn't really Care what happened to them. We ended up fast forwarding the movie and didn't miss a lot
