What is... wondrous, the chief repression that we see-and hear-is Stalinist hatred of jazz and American hip clothes.
Top Critic'Hipsters" practically vibrates with zeal and joy.
It's taken the Russian musical "Hipsters" four years to reach America. That's all right. It may take audiences four years to recover.
A candy-colored confection with a dark, bittersweet center.
Are you ready for a bright and breezy musical comedy from Russia?
An endearing curiosity that, at 125 minutes, is as badly in need of a trim as the hair of its comically coiffed dandies.
Imagine Baz Luhrmann on borscht.
I really wanted to enjoy this cause I really liked what the movie was going for and the numbers are often fun. But there were too many things that bothered me to enjoy it.
You could get whiplash trying to keep up with everything, but I suspect that's what hyperactive director Valeriy Todorovskiy is going for...
Hipsters gets rubles for trying, but what's on screen is thin and obvious, the characters one-dimensional, the musical numbers and satire vapid.
The birth of the cool in the USSR forged into a rocking Soviet Graffitti that will heat the world.
Or as Yakov Smirnoff would say: in Soviet Russia, party finds you!
It's an intriguing spectacle, but there's no substance behind it.
Light as a bubble, Hipsters suggests that age may catch up with everyone, but that there will always be people fighting against the current of conformity, even if they only express it via how they wear their hair.
Lightweight but watchable musical confection.
