It’s clear that for this movie they hired ballerinas to play ballerinas instead of actual actors, which is a concept many people weirdly actually advocate for. All this produces is completely wooden acting in scenes that are meant to be emotional and heavy which causes them to fall completely flat.
The only highlights of the movie come from legendary Soviet actress Alisa Freindlich, where you can clearly see the difference in acting skill compared to her colleagues with her line delivery and comedic timing. The fact that even in 2016 the only highlights of a Russian piece of art is from Soviet times, it clearly shows how far Russian art has fallen. The very same Alisa Freindlich back then was in the movie Stalker (1979), a piece considered by many critics as one of the greatest movies ever produced, and a testament to Russian cinema. nowadays it’s this.
It’s also not a coincidence that this movie came out after Black Swan (2010).
