Reviews

Quite controversially, the audience accepted the film “On the Sunny Side of the Street”. Reviews of not the best nature were mainly left by that part of the audience who read the works of Dina Rubina.

Most claims are presented to the selection of artists. And if the male half of the cast is all more or less good, then the audience believes that it would be possible to choose more suitable performers for the roles of Catherine and Vera. Anna Snatkina, who succeeds in the roles of benevolent and easily vulnerable girls, does not look good in the image of bitch and scammer. And Julia Mavrina does not at all resemble a slaughtered artist, but rather a secular girl, moreover with character.

Also, the audience had some complaints about the work of the operator and the editor, saying that watching the video was not very comfortable. As a result, the rating of the film on the IMDb website was only 4.8 out of 10. On the Kinopoisk resource, this figure is slightly higher - 6.8 points.
