Skazhene vesillya (2018). 1h 30m

“This movie is a comparable success in Ukraineu0026#39;s movie season-2018 by having grossed the major box office and having been able to repay the investment, including to a public purse. Still, it is a boring flop. No twists, no memorable jokes except for the one about the lack of surgeons in the hospital located in the street named after a famous Ukrainian doctor (u0026quot;no surgeons left in the hospital except for the title of the street we are inu0026quot;). When a student of a Paris medical school who is not even an intern yet is allowed at the end of the movie to operate on his future farther-in-law who has suffered a heart attack, the film becomes unbearable. It seems one of the reasons behind its domestic success is the striking resemblance between the main character and the current President of Ukraine and some ensuing innuendos. Still, it takes many movies to put Ukraineu0026#39;s cinema back on its feet, and this is precisely one of those, and not the weakest brick.”
