Di di mau.

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2018)

Sound: Well mixed, nice score. Excellent use of Russian orthodox sacred music.
70/100
Technical: Unnecessary use of stock footage. Some edits not synched well. A lot of excellent cinematography
70/100
Narrative: Excellent use of montage to establish character exposition. A tragedy that flows from happiness to sorrow, alienation, and hope. It moves slow, but has to. We need to see the bonds of friendship and camaraderie before the effects of the war.
60/100
Character/Acting: Top notch acting here, all characters have arcs. Very believable and realistic people. The extras are very good, they add to the illusion of the story
90/100
Did I like it: Yes, I know people like these; very truthful about how war affects people, even the ones who do not go and fight.
75/100
Artistic merit: This film touches the sensitive and difficult issue of the aftermath of war on veterans, their friends, family, and communities. This is the first film to do it since "The Way We Were". Though Cimino's films tend to be a little too long for some people and move a little slow (this has hurt his reputation).
72/100
Total score 72.8/100
