Sinekatalog’s take

Andrei Konchalovsky's comic drama is set in an asylum caught on the Chechen front line, where the patients live in their own dreams. Yulia Vysotskaya shines in an odd, humane, poetic tale that won Venice's Silver Lion.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
