Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

dexy_182 Two years after Osobennosti natsionalnoy rybalki... Less vodka, less humor. Can't help comparing those two, cause I had a kick with Osobennosti natsionalnoy rybalki. The Osobennosti natsionalnoy okhoty v zimniy period, however, was pretty mediocre until Lyova flew with the red balloons waving at the helicopter. Unfortunately this was pretty much toward the ending. I loved Kuzmich though, cold-blooded as usual, hands in his pockets and all. But on the whole... The Fishing is way better. Still haven't seen just the Hunting, hope it's funnier. There were some moments unnecessarily long and tiresome, and that thing with the tale of the apprentice hunter... I didn't quite get it, except for it slowed down the movie a lot. I mean, even if it had some divine inspirational and enlightening meaning to it, why in this movie anyway?
