Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and mixed reviews, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Same wavelength as Mr. Turner.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 23 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A young man, Ivan, is forcefully mobilised and sent to fight in the Caucasian War as a soldier of the Russian Empire by his landlord, leaving his wife behind. In the Caucasus, Ivas experiences the fierce local resistance to the Russian military, and returns home to launch an uprising against the Russian government.
