Like Coming to America, but a Drama with blue jeans
6 June 2023
It's a very calm movie about a young immigrant, most of it is fine there are a few R-rated scenes with nudity, but it isn't anything excessive. Basically a male and female sit in bath and are mildly intimate.

Other than that it's a story of an ordinary Russian man defecting from the Soviet Union and subsequently surviving in the USA. He meets people, good and bad, friends come and go and you really do start to understand the severity of the choice Vladimir made when defecting. He has a hard time adapting and without giving any spoilers he gets bad news that hits all the harder being alone. Watching him adapt is quite entertaining and moving.

It's definitely a great movie, I reckon the low score is purely because it's not a marvel movie.

Watch it, it's quite a moving movie.
