Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, 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.

Who'll love it
Best for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening. Sits nicely alongside Gia.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Long and immersive, at 5 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 5 hr 45 min.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

A story about old Gypsy man Budulay, his troubled life and the difficult love to Russian woman.
