"By the end of it, no peasant imagined the first shy blooms of springtime more fervently than we, the audience, stoically awaited the closing credits" | ||
 |
|
"Overblown, overlong and decidedly underwhelming on every level, Nikita Mikhalkov’s magnum opus “The Barber of Siberia” is a singular disappointment." | ||
|
|
|
"The scope of the story and its imense visual splendour leave little room for any human touches or emotion, which leaves the film lacking in soul." | ||

"What Chekhov would have dealt with in a few pages, writer/director Mikhalkov takes three hours to tell." |
