The plot of the film "Russian Bride"
The film "Russian Bride" has not an original, but rather exciting plot. The main character Nina is a young single mother from Russia. Through a dating site, she found a promising fiancé, Karl, and fell in love in absentia with a reclusive American millionaire. Life in Russia did not suit her, she wanted to get out of poverty, so Nina gladly accepted the offer of a new acquaintance to move to America.
Nina was very glad to meet this person. At first everything suited her, but later she began to notice some oddities in Karl's behavior. The main character tried to fight them, but nothing worked.
As a result, she realized that she and her daughter Dasha were in danger. All the house attendants were in cahoots with their owner, so it turned out to be difficult to fight them. Nina had to fight with the entire retinue of the billionaire's henchmen in order to save her child.
Critics' opinions on the film
The film has already been released worldwide, so critics wrote their reviews. Viewers also made their own reviews of the picture. The opinions turned out to be quite contradictory. The work of the director raised a lot of questions. Some critics believe that the film was made too simple, primitive. There were few sets involved in the filming. The director filmed too many general plans, which can also be attributed to shortcomings.
A thriller with elements of horror is strictly not recommended for persons under 18 years of age. Very violent scenes are included at the end of the film. Critics called this brutality unjustified. To many, these scenes seemed unpleasant, frightening. It is better for people with an unstable psyche to refuse to view the picture.
The advantage of the film is its interesting plot. Watching a movie is not boring. The original idea of the director is a sharp transition between the first and second parts of the picture. The storyline from the very beginning seems smooth and measured, and then suddenly there are elements of horror, everything happens quickly and impetuously. Critics praised the acting. It is so fascinating and peculiar that it has no chance to leave the viewer indifferent. Either you like the film or not, but it certainly evokes strong emotions.
The musical accompaniment of the picture also received high marks. It sets the tone in various episodes, intensifying and spurring the atmosphere. Russian audiences should like the excerpts where folk music, well known from childhood, sound.
