Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Muromets No, this movie is not about "depiction of the communist reality which mirrors itself in the human characters in the movie" as mentioned in the review below. No, this movie is about humans - in general. About our many flaws, our internal ugliness - and yet, also about true nobility of a spirit and , most importantly, hope. And about loyalty, life that is sacred. Watch it, if you'll have an opportunity.

peterlov It's a sad sad world, as you will see in this movie. A movie about a dog not suitable for kids, because it will break their hearts with the never-ending sadness.This movie is a real masterpiece from former Soviet Union and it was nominated for Oscar as the best Foreign movie at that time. The quality of the movie is really amazing, the acting of the main dog character is outstanding. The only problem with the movie is the depiction of the communist reality which mirrors itself in the human characters in the movie.Beware this is a story of sadness and misery with a bad end. Although you will try to hold to the hope, that it will end with a happy "Hollywood" ending, this isn't the case. It is a story of though journey of a loving dog missing his master across the Soviet Union, meeting many brave and good characters but mostly just cruel and wicked people treating him badly.Prepare a box of Kleenex for this movie you will need it!

LeyNS This is an excellent movie, touching, beautifully directed and acted. Film about cruelty and indifference of some people and kindness of other. Moreover, this is a film about a great bond between a man and an animal. The dog is searching for his sick owner meeting different people on his path and sometimes this encounters are hardly bearable to watch. There is no graphic violence, but the realism of situations makes not less impact. On the scale of emotions Hatiko and War Horse are average movies compared to this one. I saw this movie once 20 years ago, but even now i vividly remember scenes of it and still shiver when i think of some of it. I will never watch it again, not because it is bad, because it is too good, a masterpice which is just too painful to watch.

katrindaria A man and a dog merge in heart and soul. You can feel it when the man falls for Bim and you realize how much Bim loves his owner as you let his pawsteps guide you trough a lifestory that could make Benji say: "Woof, I have not yet lived".This story will touch your heart and invite you to see the world from a four legged point of view. I give it a 10 and I haven't even mentioned the cinematography which is fantastic!
