The movie has a powerful hold on you; it stayed with me long after I finished watching, prompting reflection on the struggles faced by numerous individuals globally. Sergei Dvortsevoy presents an unflinching portrayal of economic servitude. Perhaps we can accept it more easily simply because it takes place in a location distant from Western societies; however, it’s important to acknowledge that there are likely vast numbers of people experiencing similar circumstances within the United States and other nations considered progressive. The film's economical production style, utilizing a hand-held camera, occasionally becomes somewhat bothersome, but never manages to pull focus from the narrative itself.
