“I am not sure why some of the reviewers gave it 1 star and were bashing it. I think they and I were watching two different movies. Some points to make:n1. The movie is based on a historical event documented in Russian archives. So, there goes a u0026quot;fairy taleu0026quot; title of one of the reviews.n2. Even if a movie tries to adhere to known facts, some u0026quot;artisticu0026quot; freedom is given so it is entertaining. In my opinion, it was very well balanced and was enjoyable to watch.n3. It shows shortcomings of a centrally managed economy (top down) where bureaucrats ALWAYS stand in the way of progress and human nature ALWAYS finds a way to work around it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI enjoyed this movie and if you give it a chance, you will too.”
