Spect.

Opinions on 'The Wizard of Kremlin' are mixed, with many praising its deep dive into the political machinations of post-USSR Russia and the standout performances of Paul Dano and Jude Law. However, the film's length and dense dialogue have been points of contention, making it a challenging watch for some. The narrative's complexity and historical depth intrigued many, yet others found it overly verbose and slow-paced.

👍 Stellar performances by Paul Dano and Jude Law.

👎 May feel too long and overly complex for some viewers.

Pas mal mais un peu compliqué et très bavard. Fidèle au livre. Le fait de l’avoir lu aide à suivre le film. Jude Law fait une imitation très réaliste de Poutine,.

J'ai adoré le bouquin- tout le film tient sur les dialogues ( denses) - bonne adaptation , fictionné sur le rôle de la partenaire du Mage, Performance incroyable du conseiller et de Poutine ( Jude law) Personnages exécrables , système pourri mais le pouvoir brûle les âmes!
