It's perfectly acted and incredibly naturalistic.

I'm only giving it an 8 because its scope and originality is a little lacking, but what it attempts to do, it succeeds in almost completely. Every actor was basically perfect but major propsIt's perfectly acted and incredibly naturalistic.

Every actor was basically perfect but major props to the lead male who just exudes this kinda restless self-hatred - or is it extreme loneliness? - so convincingly that no exposition/explanation is required; and is somehow boisterous and a bit scary and vulnerable all at once. Great job. The only thing I didn't really like was the Finnish dude. I know we aren't meant to like him, but even so, I found that too much time was spent on that episode for little value.

Very similar vibes to Lost in Translation, but it is still very much it's own thing. Also thankfully I didn't fall in love with the main character like I do every goddamn time with Scarlett Johannson.

Female protagonist is a Finnish lesbian university student

They happen to take a multi-day train ride sharing the same train compartment across Russia How at the end of the journey they connect is the basic human drama they never f*** but awesome love story

You will come out of the theater with a WIDE GRIN on your face 100 times better than Titanic for a Love story

Obviously they are poles apart so they don't get together forever but it's haunting when she eventually leaves

Great movie about:

Companionship
Friendship
Travel
Human connection
Bleak beautiful landscapes
Shot on the train with long haunting shots of train tracks passing by

This will be a serious Oscar contender next year… Expand

Juho Kuosmanen's romantic drama uses the bleak Russian winter landscape to frame a story about loneliness. Seidi Haarla and Yuri Borisov — who play two strangers with very different backgrounds that have to share a compartment on a train from Moscow to Murmansk — make one hell of a pair. Of course, since the start, we know where the relationship between the characters may go, but 'Compartment No. 6' subverts expectations by making them find a little of what they lack in each other in unforeseen and very funny ways. Kuosmanen changes the idyllic setting of Linklater's Western Europe setting for the cold and harsh northern Russian environment to get a more realistic effect. Just my kind of romance.… Expand
