Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A very satisfying and tonally precise English-language adaptation of an 1891 Chekhov novella.
Fresh: While remaining faithful to its source, places its febrile "Moscow Hamlet" in surroundings so vibrant that tragedy seems an indulgence.
Fresh: Mary Bing's debut feature script sticks close to the novella, and director Kosashvili is always alive to the story's richness of character and situation.
Rotten: Little happens onscreen. The characters bicker, picnic, bathe, and borrow money: the usual small change of the Chekhovian deal.
