    #SIFF# Studio II / 80% of the seats. Master photography and composition. Various details are subtly echoed: different classes of scenery outside the window (boiler/tree), entertainment (football/group frame), echoes of death and life, etc. The narrative is concise and powerful. The metaphor is subtle: using the triple image in Yelena's mirror to describe her triple roles of self, mother and wife.

The plot is not unusual, but the atmosphere is depressing, partly by the music, partly by the audience's usual expectations of him. Intergenerational relationship, cruel family affection, this director is very clear, it must be childhood misfortune...

    Those who are not afraid to come and eat, are afraid of even eating and packing.

    No matter how good the horse is, it can't stand the toss of a fat woman with a bunch of waste. This is simply the Russian version of "Parasite".

    The author's style is sharp
