It was soooo long and sooooooo bad... And I'm sad to say this because I was excited to watch a new movie nominated to Oscar as the best one from one of the most well-known directors of our time. And all my excitement started crushing and smashing just from the first minutes of it. Assuming it was nominated at all because of the director's famous name.

2 stars for the scenes when Sam was shooting and showing his work because it was the only thing pleasant and interesting to watch, all those creative things young enthusiastic people were making from nothing to achieve certain result they saw in their head - wow. But other than that is was extremely boring. Didn't believe a single scene, a single actor (maybe except Judd Hirsch, there were a couple of minutes that drove my attention). And minus 1000 stars for having Ukrainian grandparents and adding russian languaged songs (on top of that - terribly, awfully sang. Could've done a much better job making your actors pronunciation at least ok-sounding). As a Ukrainian I'm deeply offended and regret wasting two and a half hours of my life on this while I can actually die from a russian missile any minute now.
