This film is a real thing of beauty.
Not to be contrived, but you will see your own life passing by as you watch this. What a wonderful film.
Forget the politics and the history - this film is about the human experience and how the human life is lived in a million different ways.
I was really impressed by this film. I love documentaries like this that span such a long period of time and are so thoughtful about how people change over time.
This is one of those great films that goes places no other film has gone before--even if other films have considered the subject before. It takes a perspective that's much different and more meaningful than others.
And its subjects defy your expectations.

I agree. It really hit me and made me realize how important it is to be there with your children and have a relationship for them. Also to have a job that pays you well so you dont struggle your entire life.
But I was deeply upset Sean and his wife seperated. I hoped they made it unlike his parents did. His wife was beautiful 2.
His wife was looking for a way out of Russia. I could tell it wasn't going to work by the way she spoke to Sean. She had contempt for him.
