Spect.

Opinions on 'The Wizard of Kremlin' are mixed, with viewers praising its deep dive into Russian political dynamics and the performances, particularly by Jude Law. However, many found the film overly long and slow, with some scenes adding little to the narrative. The film's dense and talkative nature was appreciated for its intelligence but criticized for its lack of engagement and clarity in some parts.

👍 Insightful portrayal of Russian politics.

👎 May feel too long and slow.

Russia, in the early 1990’s is the aftermath of the USSR’s collapse. In a new world that promises freedom and flirts with chaos, a young artist-turned-TV producer, Vadim Baranov, unexpectedly becomes the spin doctor of a promising member of the FSB (ex-KGB), Vladimir Putin.

Très bon film éclairant sur l'histoire de la Russie. Brillant, subtil, intelligent. Des bémols : très bavard, long et dense. Ce bon film aurait fait une excellente série.

Tout n’était pas clair pour moi mais je ne me suis pas trop ennuyée… Poutine était beaucoup trop beau pour être crédible. 😍

Film beaucoup trop long et lent à mon sens. Je me suis d’ailleurs endormie 30-40min avant la fin du film ce qui ne m’arrive jamais au cinéma.
