On Different Sides Trailers

Rallies in Moscow. At Ivan’s door the bell is rung by a scared stranger who asks “to sit it out for a while”, explaining that she went by a rally and “accidentally” got her share. Vanya lets her in. But at the door an OMON officer turns up, who is looking for the most active protesters. Vanya opens: he has nothing to hide, especially since he hates these “morons shouting outside his window”. To get away, the beauty plays a whole performance before the OMON, involving Vanya; it becomes clear that she is not what she pretended to be.

Reviews
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
