Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Armand beautiful idea, memorable fact. and a strange movie because the director has ambition to present a tale out of words. and his work is so serious that becomes huge rock. desire to describe all, to reflect each detail, to create perfect atmosphere, to realize a political manifesto and an Orthodox film has only a fragile result - a gray fresco with disappointed end. the religious way is suffocated. the touch of miracle - compromised. the presence of God is only a thin suggestion. the beauty of truth faith - ambiguous shadow. the image of Father Seraphim of Ravanitsa is covered by uninspired presence of Khrutchev. so, Chudo is a disappointed. an exercise to define the mystery of faith fact. a brutal search of Truth in heavy small things. but idea remains beautiful. and testimonies about this extraordinary experience is perfect cure after the end of film.
