Brendan Fraser as a tender token white man realllyyy hits

I will be brave… though I feel v tender and raw after watching this movie.

What has happened in Russian society since February 2022 is alarming and incredibly depressing, to say the least. and while this film is directly about that, the dominant feeling I came out with is warmth for Pavel, and brave “small” people like him. But of course he's not small. He’s braver and more honest than the vast majority of people on this planet.

In the wise words of my boyfriend, “The collective delusion to make this movie is something worth studying”
