Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Mr. Mazursky's fictional conceits do not do justice to Vladimir or to his situation, either in the Soviet Union or this country.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
It made me feel good to be an American, and good that Vladimir Ivanoff was going to be one, too.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
Where it scores so highly is not only in its ability to evoke Vladimir's astonishment at the bizarre, sometimes brutal texture of New York life, but also in the generosity it extends to the musician's sad predicament.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

fresh:
Moscow would be in a lot of trouble without a superbly sensitive portrayal by Robin Williams of a gentle Russian circus musician who makes a sudden decision to defect while visiting the US.
