The score was by far my favorite part of the film, the stark and clean cinematography wasn't too bad either, but a bit generic. I didn't really care much for the characters nor the drama and the pacing became an issue during the second half, but Zvyagintsev is a talented director and if arthouse is your thing, this is one to watch.
