Ok, watched it.

Not my cup of tea. I'd give it a 4/10, maybe less.

I feel it fails as a comedy, fails to properly convey the horror of 
those times, and we already know it fails on historical accuracy. It 
also fails to have a message, not that I think all films have to have one.

I don't see why the russians bothered to ban it. Ignoring it would have 
been more effective.

A film that really does require a heart of stone to watch, I feel, is 
'Slumdog Millionaire'. I couldn't watch it, had to leave the room. I 
definitely do not recommend it.
