I Wanted to See Angels has this gritty, raw vibe that captures post-Soviet Moscow with a lens that feels both personal and expansive. The pacing is reflective, almost meandering at times, which might not sit well with everyone, but I think it mirrors Bob's journey through disillusionment perfectly. The themes of youthful idealism clashing with harsh realities hit hard, and while the performances aren't over-the-top, they have a genuine quality that pulls you in. The practical effects, especially in the motorbike scenes, give it a real authenticity. It's not just a crime or romance flick; it’s a portrait of a lost generation searching for meaning in a changing world, which makes it distinctive in its own way.
Uneven pacing may not appeal to everyone.Authentic portrayal of post-Soviet life.Interesting exploration of youthful idealism.
