"A patriotic film that has a liberal, rather than a conservative, heart. It made me feel good to be an American, and good that Vladimir Ivanoff was going to be one, too. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"Romantic humanism may not be fashionable in these cynical cinematic times, but few directors reveal the tragicomic lives of ordinary people with such sensitivity and humour." | ||||
"Wonderful comedy about a tragedy." | ||||
"The very premise is a test of one's tolerance for the cutes. The rest of the film is merely strange" | ||||
"Directed by Paul Mazursky with his usual unusual touches, Moscow would be in a lot of trouble without a superbly sensitive portrayal by Robin Williams of a gentle Russian circus musician" | ||||
"Loving, dramatic comedy that resembles early Frank Capra in its patriotism and sentiment, this movie just misses on several levels but has enough humor to make you smile" | ||||
"As a fish-out-of-water comedy-drama, it works well." |
