“Greetings from Lithuania.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Mandariinidu0026quot; (2013) is very good movie. Very realistic (well, maybe bonding between two characters was a bit to quick), with beautiful cinematography, very strong acting, tight and simple but very involving script and top notch directing, this is a true movie gem.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story itself isnu0026#39;t complicated, although the background in which it takes place maybe is not very well know in Western countries. Nevertheless, it is told with simple and universal language.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, u0026quot;Mandariinidu0026quot; is not much a war movie – itu0026#39;s antiwar movie in every sense. The isnu0026#39;t much action, but at running time 1 h 22 min this movie is superbly paced, doesnu0026#39;t drag for a second and is very enjoyable for those who like quite but powerful stories.”
