Critics Consensus: Breezy, colorful, and suffused with joy, Hipsters offers audiences an engaging Cold War musical told from the other side of the Iron Curtain.

What is... wondrous, the chief repression that we see-and hear-is Stalinist hatred of jazz and American hip clothes.
Imagine Baz Luhrmann on borscht.
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.
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...

Or as Yakov Smirnoff would say: in Soviet Russia, party finds you!
It's an intriguing spectacle, but there's no substance behind it.
Hairspray in the USSR; i.e., fun and bright, but with stakes. Visual candy, catchy tunes, Lovers in a Dangerous Time plot, and only a touch heavy-handed in its political statement. Wobbles toward the end, but how many musicals don't? Eye-opening work... I kind of loved it.
